      PREFACE

      Thoughts triggered my emotions as I thought about my life-long memories. Day one, listening to hit songs in the 1970’s produced the persona that I am me.  As I grew older, I became more and more of a real seeker in search of a proud education.

      I achieved an education equivalent to a master’s degree, which inspired writing as a choice awaiting my path.

      As I moved forward in life, sounds of rhythm influenced me in a variety of ways. As a result, Poems with No Glass Shield in Twenty Fifteen was produced. Poems with No Glass Shield in Twenty Fifteen: volume 2 places a new spectrum to the way an individual may view life. The poems detail a sense of a variety of perspectives a person encounter in everyday emotions. This book has been established to keep readers entertain and possibly spark critical thinking discussions. I hope this book is viewed to all my critics as a new look at poetry in the 21st century. Months of preparation gave life to a set of words that produced the algorithm of a mathematical equation.

      Poems with No Glass Shield in Twenty-Fifteen is a book that illustrates poems to create a sense of visual sensations and thoughts to the reader. The first twenty-five poems are actual poems that deals with my personal views, conflicts and barriers to help me in other ways achieve my goals through the art of writing. The second set of poems in addition that adds to the fifty are poems I designed for fun, games and recitals of all ages. Poems with No Glass Shield states emotions of the everyday human being in all walks of life. Poems I wrote challenges my mood swings and paints a vivid picture that can take the place or form of anything. There are poems within this text book that describes the weather and natural resources to emotions that make you feel natural to grow angry at wrong doings somebody else may cause to your mental state of mind; In the end, react with a positive outcome.

      Growing up, writing was not my strong area as a child. My teacher kept pushing me to make grammar error corrections on my classwork and homework essays. I did what I was told, made the corrections and resubmitted my work to be graded. One while during high school I began to actually like writing about serious topics but often grew discouraged based on the type of corrections needed or the remarks area written by my teachers.

      My college years however, my criticism did not play a strong role by my teachers to discontinue or slow down my writing performance. When I reached graduate school I transferred into a mature writer not to afraid to tackle any topics using a profession approach to complete all term papers. Styles learned were critical during my role as a graduate student that gave me the idea, someday I want to become a writer and produce my own book.

      I worked hard and endured an even harder hardship I would ever imagined, was kicked on the streets of New York for No apparent reason by my maternal family. I saw I did not fit in with no one, I decided to start work on my first book and I did just what I thought. With the money had, I had it produced self-published and forward it to the Library of Congress noted as my first book I set out to accomplish and completed my task.

      My works continued and I grew as a writer as well as a parent raising my only child long distance to attend graduation and be proud to witness such a marvelous moment documented in history.

      Words are crucial when there is a audience. Appropriate talk is not faulted on the speaker but the controller. Certain talk is appropriate based on the venue. If cursing is permitted and someone has a problem with it, then that someone is at the wrong venue. Age appropriate/sensitive material are usually labeled. The overall focus of talk or words are controlled at most reasons based on labeling. Further action is addressed that involves other factors not associated with the talk of words that usually involve law officials or court officials.

      Freedom expression is still the law of the land based on the United States of America Constitution. If such freedom did not exist, censorship will be the predecessor of what was a free world.

      Reading poetry can be very relaxing and mind bottling to others. Straight talk is preferred based on the connection. Others view robotic language is not cool after hours. Figure of speech is connected to poetry in my opinion, that again is protected under The United States constitution.

      INTRODUCTION

      Poems with No Glass Shield in Twenty Fifteen represents freedom at heightened levels. Each poem represents an art form expression of a certain level of understanding that meets the eye.

      The poems describe life s precious moments. Each page ranges from simple daily life to spiritual human nature. Once one has ideally an understanding of the true meaning of Poems
