The poetry reflects her sense of the rhythm and flow of the topic. The form of the poem also is a reflection of its meaning. Each poem is unique on its own merit. Some poems rhyme; some use a recurring line or lines. Most are free verse and have their own musical flow. “The Time Was November” uses rhyme and this recurring line.

Poetry through my ages is an account of my journey and development as a person and a writer, through the poems Ive written. This anthology records my poetry from the age of fifteen, being the age I first took an interest in writing poetry. The poems contained in this book feature in chronological order capturing in tone and subject matter my lifes progression. The progression of a poet is a never ending journey, a journey that I am still undertaking and is evident in my evolving style of poetry. To me the grammatical accuracy of my work is irrelevant. I wrote each of these poems because at the time something or someone triggered a thought strong enough that I needed to write it down. I hope my poems will have the same effect on the readers of this memoir.

"My Personal Journey With Jesus Revealed Through Poetry" includes my personal testimony along with poems I have written since 1999. My personal testimony is about how Jesus walked with me and carried me through the trials and tribulations of the past seventeen years. This includes my salvation experience, my personal encounters with Satan, my time spent in mental hospitals, two times when I could have died, the loss of family and friends, and also how God provided me with a new Christian family and friends who are helping me rebuild my life and showing me how to minister to others. The three sections of poems include personal journey poems, praise and worship poems, and poems about the end times. The reason I am telling my story and being so open and honest is because I want you to know that Jesus is real and that He will save you and walk with you for eternity if you only open up your heart to Him. My name is Brian Whitacre. I was born in 1973. As a child I enjoyed school and played sports, however I didn't know Jesus. My spiritual journey started in 1993. At the age of twenty I began attending a Pentecostal Church where I was drawn to Jesus by the power of love. On April 24, 1994, I got saved as God spoke these words to me "are you willing to give up your secular music for me?" I said yes and God also delivered me from my bad temper and cursing. However, right after I got saved, I came face to face with Satan. This encounter changed the course of my life forever. Because of this encounter I ended up in a maximum security mental hospital in Dayton, Ohio. Since 1994 I have spent many long hours in mental hospitals where Jesus proved He would never leave me.

Poetry Through My Ages, Still Writing is the second account of my journey and development as a person and a writer through the poems Ive written. This anthology records my poetry from the age of fifteen, being the age I first took an interest in writing poetry. The poems contained in this book are featured in chronological order, capturing in tone and subject matter my lifes progression. I have added seven of my favorite poems from my first book, Poetry Through My Ages, still added in chronological order. The progression of a poet is a never-ending journey, a journey that I am still undertaking and is evident in my evolving style of poetry. To me, the grammatical accuracy of my work is irrelevant. I wrote each of these poems because at that time, something or someone triggered a thought strong enough that I needed to write it down. I hope my poems will have the same effect on the readers of this memoir.

These poems reflect my beliefs and my faith in God. I feel that I have grown stronger in my faith since I began writing this book. Many of the poems are about how we make choices in our daily lives. They show love, compassion and humility, which teach applications for living our faith and being the example God has called each of us to be.

Pain is poetry I try to demonstrate the power of words to inspire a generation that’s caught in a web of “Oppression” that comes in the form of ignorance, poverty, irresponsibility and violence.
