About the Author: I didn't learn to write poetry in a creative writing class or a systematized series of English courses.I began writing essays in an English 1 class. And in that class I was told of my creative ability. I continued to write at home for my own entertainment and that lead me to writing poetry. I began writing poetry in the mid 1980's. And I taught myself to write rhyming verse poetry. I wasn't even aware of free style poetry; the kind of poetry that doesn't rhyme. I have been to such readings and listened to poets reading in vague obscurity. And they always left me disappointed. We read and listen to poetry that leaves us looking through a haze wondering what it means, like looking at a painting without scenery. My rhyming verse poetry paints images that are easy to envision. My poems will send you on a crystal clear magic carpet ride. My poetry can make a hardened heart seek love again. Make a Monk throw abstinence to the wind and go on a lustful binge. My poetry is as easy to perceive as watching the sun set beyond the horizon, or a hurricane looming on the eve of destruction. My book (For all Occasions Poetry by Sharrieff) is a must have for poetry readers. For it will charm, incite, and soothe your emotions like a potion. Abdul al Matin Sharrieff
