"Jazz Man" - Beauty Runs Deep

A Warrior ll TL Sellers ll Dedicated To Nigeria

I originally wrote this piece in dedicated to the women and children sold into human/sex trafficking, but in light of what our world is experiencing right now I thought it best to dedicate this piece to the kidnapped girls of Nigeria.


Let's join with them so that the girls will not be forgotten. So that this will not be just another missing plane or Trayvon Martin moment, but a revolution that last for decades and centuries to come. Let us do our parts to ensure that another life is not taken in vain or for granted. Let them hear our voices daily!

You Are Your Own Therapist

Poetry has always been a form of therapy for me. From bullying, boys, a felony charge (post at later date) and just not fitting in because of my appearance, poetry allowed me to escape reality. Correction, writing allowed me to escape reality. It presented a prayer to God to give me a renewed mind and strength to go on.

Growing up and becoming the constantly improving woman I am today has all been credited to my ability to express myself freely within my writings. Even today I am simply not liked because of how I look, even though I have divorce myself from the opinions of others, it makes for a great poem!

Finding what bothers you or has you sad, upset or excited, is best designed for writing and sharing with your audience, friends, family or just for your journal. But get it out on paper! Never hold in your feelings! It's not wise to speak out every thought that comes to mind but it's also not safe to bottle it up inside. So remember to write it out and tell God all about your troubles. Wisdom cries out! Are you listening?

Poetically Speaking,

The Art of Poetry

According to Dictionary.com, poetry is "the art of rhythmical composition, written or spoken, for exciting pleasure by beautiful, imaginative, or elevated thoughts" (Dictionary.com). But I say poetry is musical therapy released by it's author. It must be heard to truly experience the tones that create feelings.

I am currently in the process of publishing my own collection of poetry and I'm excited that elements of my life could be shared and explored creatively.

So remember that whatever you decide to write, read and/or listen too, be sure to have an open heart and mind because then will you truly understand the story that is being expressed within every word.

Poetry can also be expressed through theater by the drama that is performed within the actors’ performances. The actors' are able to create tones, emotions and feelings within the persona they are portraying and in turn you feel and relate. 

Paintings and photography also give off rhythm and emotion. They capture life and if you open your heart you can hear the story they tell. 

Take this journey with me as I continue to reveal why life and all of it's surroundings are poetry to me.


Poetically Speaking,

T.L. Sellers
