*I write under the pen names of Mizzlady Poetress & Zenith Elliott.
Several of the photos I have used are from www.freefoto.com.
Writing for me is as essential as breathing. Some of my writings are reflective of my personal life experiences and others are just observations of what I have seen in my travels.
I have been published in Poetry Anthologies in the United States and in an e-zine in Canada. Basically I write poetry but I am branching out into lyrics , articles and short stories. I am working on a couple of books that I hope to have published in the near future.
I give credit to many people for encouraging and inspiring me to write. First, I'd like to thank God for giving me a gift that I know I have a responsibility to share with the world. Secondly, my parents and numerous family members and friends, I love you all. Bonnie, Calvin, Candy, various writer's from Authorsden and my new found friend's here at Allpoetry, I appreciate each and every one of you. Without all of the love, support and encouragement I've been blessed with I couldn't have come this far.
There are many wise men and women that have made some profound statements, here are a few that I enjoy pondering ~
In the solitude of your mind are the answers to all your questions about life. You must take the time to ask and listen. - Bawa Mahaiyaddeen
If you know what you want, you will recognize it when you see it. - Bill Cosby
Let not what you cannot do tear from your hands what you can. - Ashanti proverb
Take a day to heal from the lies you've told yourself and the ones that have been told to you. - Maya Angelou
We can never know so much that there is nothing more for us to learn...I appreciate comments on my work and welcome fair constructive critiques.*

BonnieQ on March 31, 2006Hey, sweetpea! I miss seeing new works by you. Still can't log on to A/D, so I've about given up on that site.
Arrant Faith, a new Christian group formed by Patricia, Joanne, and Bonnie is now up and ready to go! Hope to see you there, my precious friend and sister and surrogate daughter! allpoetry.com/Application/1917450

BonnieQ on December 5, 2005Hey Zenith! I wanted to let my sisters and brothers know about a new website a fellow Christian poet has started. The following link was sent to me today- www.centerpide.net/havefaith/?p=78
I was told that one of my poems is featured there for a week! I was sooo surprised and humbled all at the same time.
