Get to know poet Sherille Williams:
1) What is the theme of your poem?
The name of my poem is called Forgiveness
2) How would you like people to respond when they read or watch your poetry reading?
I would like people to respond to this poem by understanding this feeling of forgiveness is not easy but simple.
I been writing poetry since I was 14. I use to play my Alicia keys music and incorporate that along with the pain I endured in my life.
4) Do you have a favorite poet?
My favorite poet is Emily Dickinson, not only for her work but how she lived her life. She secluded herald from others and I have a bad habit of doing that.
I never had my poem recited by someone else. I saw the website and just decided to give it a try. I’m not a winner of anything so when I actually won this opportunity I was really proud of myself. Along with the book I put this poem in, my first book THE MARKS ON MY SKIN.
6) Do you write other works? scripts? Short Stories? Etc..?
I have not wire turn short stories in a long time so no I have not, if the idea was presented to me then I would not mind using my creative mind to help out.
7) What is your passion in life?
My passion in life is helping others. If I cannot help you then I feel bad so writing poetry for allows me to use the stories of people I know and use my own experience to help others. Understanding someone else’s thoughts usually seem a one sided. So with creative writing it allows me to place in different perspectives but the raw truth.

Watch the Poetry Reading: PARIS – THE ATROCITY 13th November 2015:
Get to know poet Jane Gill-Wilson:
1) What is the theme of your poem?
The theme of ‘Paris – The Atrocity’ is Human Interest, Emotive, Rhyme.
2) How would you like people to respond when they read or watch your poetry reading?
My aim is to draw the reader/listener into the heart of the subject matter. In the case of ‘Paris – The Atrocity’ I hope the poem will allow people to explore their own thoughts surrounding the tragic events, and raise an awareness of the secondary consequences of such atrocities.
I began writing poetry as a cathartic process during some troubled times in 2010.
4) Do you have a favorite poet?
No, I don’t really have a favorite poet. I am very much inspired by life events and write inspirational, biographical poetry. My style is always rhyming verse. However, I have been influenced by Pam Ayres who is an English poet, comedian and songwriter. My next book due to be published by Pegasus Eliot Mackenzie in 2016 is a humorous collection of dating stories told in rhyme.

Knock on the Door
by Pamela Cotter
Knock on the door
Not going to answer it this time
It’s a tap in my life
Help to make the days go by
It comes on again
Like a winter storm holding my hand
Its hot like a knife
But would cut you deep inside
You walk away
But the pull closes you in
You need to stay behind.. the curtains again…
It’s a knock the door
It s a knock from the past
You walk away and sigh..
Not this time..not ever this way
Then, with a rush.. a sensation combs your veins
It climbs inside your blood and washes through
It whispers yess. U need it again
It whispers yess.. put on that black..again
Knock on the floor
Your souls meet face to face
It doesn’t disappoint, you history plays again
This time its going to last
As you climb your next hill
This time it will be
As if u never said… I do.

Paris – The Atrocity 13th November 2015, Poetry by Jane Gill-Wilson
Gunfire out of nowhere
Bullets ricochet,
Blood shed in the city
On another Parisian day.

Paris – The Atrocity
13th November 2015
by Jane Gill-Wilson
Gunfire out of nowhere
Bullets ricochet,
Blood shed in the city
On another Parisian day.
Eyes closed in anguish
As the shocking events unfold,
There is no rhyme or reason
As evil takes control.
Armed with Kalashnikov’s
On their killing spree,
Intent on ending life
As victims start to flee.
Mayhem in the city
Bodies on the ground,
Echoing explosion
Causing carnage all around.
The unfolding horror
An onslaught of war,
Is a crime against humanity
One the world abhors.
A nation now in mourning
Struggles to comprehend,
How lives were extinguished
Brought callously to an end.
Holding hands together
United we must stand,
To eradicate the evil
Infiltrating our land.
Drastic measures needed
As time is running out,
The future of our children
Should not be left in doubt.
