On My Poetry Forum for Review: Step on All of Us

Step on All of Us is a hybrid poem that blends the sixteen bars of a hip hop/rap and classical couplet poetry.

This poem is political in nature and the first of an upcoming chapbook called: United. This poem is being switched over to Undawnted's YouTube Channel. Subscribe and leave a comment. 

 

No matter what your political leanings are, some truths cannot be argued. The media has destroyed our country with lies and manipulation. It is time to call this yellow journalism out. This poem is the first step in the creative writing community to do just that.

Two Nominations on My Poetry Forum for the poem: Pretend

Poetry allows the writer to expand on ideas and philosophies. Pretend is such a poem about Existentialism. The poem is a mirror with which to see ourselves and our current status in religion, politics, and our own personal embodiment.

 

Pretend seems to spark that same sentiment in others as the poem was nominated twice on a poetry site.

The poem has garnered accolades including: "It's the best poem I have ever read" on a forum that has since closed.  

Thank you so very much.

If you would like to read the poem for yourself and leave a review, then please head on over to Undawnted's YouTube Channel.

Have a great and wonderful day.

Blood Novel Review and Ruth Miranda Interview

If you are into unique writing styles, avant garde with an emphasis on the psychology of individual characters, then Ruth Miranda may be the writer for you.

A fresh perspective on the paranormal genre is hard to discover these days but Blood by Ruth Miranda is up there with the likes of Jim Butcher.

When you think of Ruth Miranda; think the style and composition of George Eliot.

Sometimes the refreshing is found in the unexpected. 

How did you get into writing?

MIRANDA: I started writing short stories as soon as I learned to string sentences together, so I've pretty much written since I was seven, eight years old. I write out of necessity to put down the stories in my head, am constantly making up stories there.

Were you always the creative sort?

MIRANDA: I've always been into stringing words together, but was hopeless at any other form of creative work, can't sing, can't draw, can't play any musical instruments. I did dance ballet for a while and wasn't too bad.

Why the topic of pretenaturals? Did you make up the term?

MIRANDA: I've always liked the idea of creatures living amongst us that are not like us, humans. That they differ from us in their genetics, their capabilities, but are as prone as we are to all that makes us who and what we are as individuals and persons. I don't think I invented the term, though, I think I've seen it around for a while.

Since the paranormal realm and its creatures are metaphors for the human condition, what does your writing say about being human?

MIRANDA: I don't use paranormal and creatures as metaphors, I use them as I may use a character of chinese descent, or african, or suomi. It's just another race, in my books. Of course, they do have powers humans don't, but I've never thought of using vampires for metaphors, for example.

BLOOD by Ruth Miranda is an intriguing coming of age story for Caius part Fey and all immortal. He struggles with events in his life that have left him mourning the loss of his fiancé and confused about his natural paranormal abilities. On the search to discover his past, Caius enters a world unlike his own: the world of vampires, witches, and Fey.

Ms. Miranda brings a new kind of reality into creation. In the same vein as Jim Butcher, Blood opens the reader into her fertile imagination. Dialogue moves the plot and characters along a path filled with suspense and intrigue. What will happen if Caius discovers his true identity? Will he confront his father? Save his brother, Marcus?

Blood is not your typical novel. Descriptive words sketch out characters and setting like a work of art. Enjoy this masterful piece of paranormal fantasy and paint your way through the chapters by the number.
