It came to me that people judge from a outward observation of another human being. Instead of finding out who that person really is inside and out. I think everyone has worth I don’t care what their circumstances are at that moment of our encounter.

THESE SHOES by Latonia Sears
Get to know poetry writer Latonia Sears:
1) What is the theme of your poem?
It came to me that people judge from a outward observation of another human being. Instead of finding out who that person really is inside and out. I think everyone has worth I don’t care what their circumstances are at that moment of our encounter.
2) How would you like people to respond when they read or watch your poetry reading?
I would like for them to be inspired and think about how a person can be looked down on because of his appearance. Or because he is not what some would consider something special in this world.
3) How long have you been writing poetry?
6 years
4) Do you have a favorite poet?
Maya Angelou
5) What influenced you to submit to WILDsound and have your poetry performed by a professional actor?
Because I don’t know of any other site that offers the kind of exposure that the poetry festivals gives virtually unknown poets and writers.
6) Do you write other works? scripts? Short Stories? Etc..?
Yes I have 2 self published novels. Also working on a new book I would like to release in the fall. I love writing anything of any nature and subject.
7) What is your passion in life?
Writing
Deadline: FREE POETRY Festival – Get your poem made into a MOVIE and seen by 1000s. Three options to submit:

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.
