*PLEASE NOTE*
If you take the time out to leave me constructive criticism and your own interpretation of my poems, I will go out of my way to return the favor! I do not make empty promises and I will return the favor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Poetry is a silent, numbing maddness of electrifying emotion...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Poetry is an art form where the paper becomes my easel and words are my strokes of every outpouring of emotion within. It is my attempt to construct a sensical picture out of the experiences I undergo in life and to show my readers the intensity I feel and breathe with each day. Poetry is political, it is natural, it can be about love, depression, elation, sexuality, gender relations; it is all encompasing.
My literary influences stem from authors, poets, and musicians such as Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, Irving Layton, Frank O'Hara, Lenord Cohen, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Edna St. Vincent Milay, Pablo Neruda, Rilke, Bjork, Ani DiFranco, and the list just simply goes on. Other influences having contributed to my writings are spending 10 years of my life living in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, three years the US, Halifax, NS and now, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
I hope to work on editing several pieces of poetry and compiling them into a book. I appreciate, welcome, and encourage any comments, criticisms, or suggestions on my poetry and I hope that you enjoy what you read.
~Zola~
************If you enjoy my poetry, perhaps you will enjoy my music as well! Please visit my myspace page at www.myspace.com/kellymalbasa where you can listen to my four tracks I collaborated and am a featured vocalist on. Two track, "Every Time You Move" and "Back and Forth" I co-wrote.**************
A Message, dear friend:
The depth...the passion...the anger...the rebirth...(imported and exploited like the slaves of the old) may be the only non- obscurities which maintain any truth in this world. Applaud the rejection of infection not many know is conventionalism. Keep on embracing it for this might be the only way we stand a chance in erasing it. ~KLM~

Iohagh : I just wanted to drop by and say... on January 9, 2007Happy New Year
Darling zola
Whenever I read your
page I feel funnelled
through a mystic tour
like a wind tunnel.
And you are athletic
while my muscles small
despite black dress ascetic
your aspirations remain tall.
Hey, its time for child slavery and abuse to end from doing what we know how to do. Write! Complain! Talk!
Can talk change the world. Well consider this the New Testament is just talk. The Old Testament Psalms is just talk. Amazing Grace was written by an ex-slave ship captain become Anglican anti-slavery minister and he stopped slavery in UK, the anniversary is this year.
On my page, I wrote Why John Newton cries. Just talk.
Can you write me a poem about the Global Peace Film Festival, Inc., an IDPixie LLC charity, at www.peacefilmfest.org from your perspective.
Maybe something on how Mr. Abdul Tawala Ibn Ali Alishtari the founder as a Muslim conservative and Ms. Nina Streich, the executive director a Jewish liberal can seek peace so we can too. You can post it on my page where it says post such things. Halt Child Slavery Post Page http://allpoetry.com/poem/2393547
I am not doing a contest since any poem on peace is a winner. You are my fav. So from me to you my darling . Smoosh before I whoosh. Janet -

zola on October 15, 2005Just a quick note to twisted fairytale, Sheela-na-Gig is not my poem! It is a song by PJ Harvey. Sorry for the confusion!!!

twisted fairytale on September 6, 2005wow! i like this poem A LOT. specifically this part, "Look at these my ruby red ruby lips
Look at these my work strong arms and
You've got to see my bottle full of charm"
it captures the emotions very well. nicely done.
