The Art of Poetry

About the Book

About the Author

My name is Monaé Obare. I am a mother and educational professional. I have had many jobs in my life time. I feel life experiences are our best teachers; they can make us strong or keep us weak. My poetry is about experiences from others and myself. I try to write about things the way I see them. I write to get people to think about life. My thoughts on paper help me. I have developed this gift as a coping device. It makes me stronger after writing my feels about the events of the day. I have learned many things about people on all levels. Also, I have seen many levels of happiness and pain. I carry people’s pain and happiness within me; it is like a window to my soul. This is why I have decided to give these poems to the world, so they may take them for comfort or learn how to face situations that arise in their life. People are people all over the world. There is good and bad in all of us. We make choices that change our lives and others. The best thing is to think about the affects of actions.
