Bettie Stallworth-Lewis offers readers an objective look at personal situation(s) by setting the stage for the reader to enter a place of serenity. This place of serenity is where they can spiritually meet with God and focus on his goodness, mercy and strength. Lewis delivers encouragement by focusing on three factors of life's disappointments: 1. Faith: a small amount of faith will go a long way (mustard seed), God will do the rest. 2. Patience: I've never known God to be late. As-a-matter of fact, he's always right on time. Give him credit for punctuality. 3. Praise: Give thanks for the good things in your life. If anything occurs out of the ordinary, pray that God will give you peace of mind and allow you to accept what you cannot change. Each letter has a related scripture that accompanies the factors by planting seeds that are needed for each particular situation. This book has a sweet, sweet spirit with a soothing purpose that allows the presence of God to encamp the reader.

Casanova is a poem about a boy who leaves for university a relatively innocent person with universal ideas on life and love. The whole poem was written so as to take the reader through the stages of his transformation as he meets and interacts with various girls from varsity. The poem starts off just as he joins varsity and leaves behind the life he had before for a fresh start in this new world of freedom. It starts off showing the wild side of university and how the freshman is eventually led into his first infatuation, heartbreak, and the way it changes him. The story continues through showing all the girls he gets involved with and how they eventually turn him from an innocent guy to a Casanova. The story then takes the freshman through a rude awakening when he gets involved with a fragile girl who believes she’s found her soul mate only to realize that’s not how things always work out when the nowtainted freshman decides to keep his distance from her. “Casanova (not the legendary one) is simply rich in diversity of subject and substance.” —Mr. Wodanga

A year ago, I was blessed to publish my first book of poems, “About My Father’s Business.” It was so well-received, and many encouraged me to continue my writing.

This 2nd edition of “About My Father’s Business” contains the writings of a “21st Century Psalmist,” so called because the words speak to the heart’s fullness, of the trials and of the discontent of everyday life, as well as the deeply rooted spiritual concerns of one’s soul.

It is intended to stir up your emotions. If you find these words strong, or hurtful, or joyful, or sad, then you are feeling what I am feeling. I know I have found solace in this 21st Century writing.

Even in death I heard the scrattle… An orange bunch of oak leaves Tossed this way and that On the luke warm tarmac As I sat on a branch, Grounded. (bus stop)

i have been writing poetry since I was in high school. In college at Sacred Heart in Houston, Texas I majored in English Literature. Later I took writing courses through the mail. I have also studied many poets, my favorite being Emily Dickinson. I belonged to Back To Word a poetry group that met at the Arts Alliance in Clear Lake, Tx. for four years. I continue to work on my poetry and try to write at least two poems a week. I have always enjoyed writing, especially poetry which helps me express my feelings better than I am able to in speaking. I also enjoy sharing my poems with my friends. I enjoy playing with words and creating something that didn't exist before. I live in a rather remote area called Texas City, Tx which is between Houston and Galveston. I was born in Galveston, Tx or On The Island as people from here like to say. I am a mother of two grown children, Jennifer and Jon and have a granddaughter, Makyla. I write on many different subjects and enjoy sharing my poetry with family and friends. Many of my poems have been written about some of my friends and family. I feel the people in my life have greatly contributed to my poetry. I also believe that writing is a gift given to me by God and I want to share it with the world.

I write for the readers to listen. Somethings just may not be understood, be careful not to judge things you don't understand. For every reason there is a cause and effect for one persons action. My struggle goes far beyond pen on paper. It reads lessons learned. The density of life travels with time. Challenge is I contains life to today as a repeated past.

My Poet Tree reflects my personal journey through life expressed in verse From the consequences of war in Painted In Red to the emotional turmoil of lost love in Crippled Smiles. We cross a landscape where the frailty of age is captured in Of Our Lives. Then we pause for a moment to consider the guilt or innocence in This Cell My Prison, before moving on to the fragile state of this planet in I Challenge The Day. there are many twists and emotions are examined throughout the book an example being We Wear It Well. Occasionally we stop to smile as in There’s An Elephant In My Garden. Before dipping in to memories of childhood as revisited in There’s A Secret In My Cupboard. Then we leave behind the absurdity of imagined horror in Reaper; to slip into self-awareness in Made Of Stone. Along the way we will relive the terror of an ocean storm in The Sinking Of The Santa Fe. Then move to a poem titled That’s My Life, an attempt to understand the things that motivate the way we are. Included is a tribute to a great poet in An Ode To Edgar Allan Poe. So I welcome you to join me, and share the experiences and memories that is My Poet Tree

Never in my life did I ever contemplate composing a book of Poetry so I didn't and my apologies to those of you out there who thought I would dare categorize it as such when comparing it to the classics. For some unknown reason during the past two years, there has been an avalanche of rhymes materialising in my head on a daily and sometimes even an hourly basis. Everything that my eyes dropped on to or what somebody might have happened to mention in passing was automatically filtered into the verse as opposed to the voice box or voice-versa and summarily twisted and turned into a rhyming subject. Silly ,serious or just amusing, most were given an added ingredient of poignancy or irony that may have directly related to the complex world we live in. Flowing with the phenomonom, my thoughts seemed to urge me into re- producing other experiences that may have been lying dormant somewhere in the back of my mind since my first tangible recollections of life and the initial flexing of brain muscle back at the school of learning right up to the present moment. The anecdotes are again observations and stories picked up and stored over many, many years and embellished to produce an occasional break from rhyme reading. The Human Race warms to laughter and happiness in a serious, demanding enviroment and hopefully this book will bring some small ray of sunshine into your life to provide a welcome break from the daily grind. This is an enigmatic look at that life so to speak and like a drink, I trust you will enjoy it responsibly.
