Some Book Covers #newpoetrybook #lorijeanfinnila #womenauthors #literature #poetrybooks

Image
  Wanted to share the book covers I've been working on for my next poetry book for Apple Books and Amazon Books. Not sure about the last one that has a lot of white space. I'm pretty happy about the 1rst one that's Amazon's cover. Of course there's a good chance they'll be changes down the road.

"I Feel So Closed To God" Finished Final Copy #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #musicarranger #newsong

Image
Photo from Pixabay.com. I just finished the final copy to this song using Minor2Go music loops. Of course that makes the entire song so much better.  Song Lyrics: Verse I'm up one more day The sun is shining though I don't feel   as connected as others do I'm still so grateful Chorus I feel so close to God But I don't want to reach him too soon Please tell him to love me...... And let me remain Verse Another Sunday I can't make it to church though I connect with those that perished on a daily basis   I feel I have much to do I feel his message I    fight to put into words the meaning of my existence Chorus I feel so close to God I don't want to reach him too soon Please tell him to love me... And let me remain..…... Verse I looked at your face and learned what pain was from you I can’t imagine the pain you suffered or maybe I did I was the black sheep of the family a mess when I needed help most I felt death too but I escaped I learned what love is Chorus I feel

Someone Will Hear Your Intelligent Words (Updated) #sometimesabrokenflower #poetrybook #lorijeanfinnila #womenauthors #literature

Image
Image by WOKANDAPIX from Pixabay I'm refining my poems. It's getting close to another book.  Even as your hiding Even in the dark Walking around corners So far from everyone  As you dodge in and out  Throughout your day Waiting for the chance  to speak in the night  for no one else to hear She is there  Far away Dark and cold So cold so deep so light Deep down buried The sun shines so yellow Fills the sky  2 skies that fold  1 an unknown place So surreal far away into another land Into another land  Someone will hear  your intelligent words.

Running Through Nooks and Crannies To Feel Freedom #lorijeanfinnila #writer #freedom

Image
Image by  Free Fun Art  from  Pixabay I used to go to this large house filled with nooks and crannies that ran endless that we could run through to feel freedom. It was a lot like this photo but there was no books. I wasn’t allowed to go to the library once I was a young juvenile.

Ladies Please Fight #joebiden #president #braininjuries #abused #women #longtermeffects

Image
Image by  Gerd Altmann  from  Pixabay Ladies we need to fight. Out of the 75% of us abused and the ones with CTE and other lifelong sustaining injuries from abuse fighting for our lives it’s only going to get worse if we have to change a president now. We may not know what Joe will do in the future towards this but we know what he hasn’t been doing. And those baby steps that we fight to go forward to be able to talk about what’s been done to us will be lost if Trump is in office as he promised to do if there’s no marks on our bodies. Please stand together. There are more women than men. Sneak out and vote if you have to. Use the buddy system to cover for one another. The 'Lord Almighty' or Biden's team? He now says he'd drop out if shown 'no way' to win First Athlete Diagnosed with CTE Imagine being a woman banged around all day long. The Trump Administration Quietly Changed the Definition of Domestic Violence and We Have No Idea What For Daily Beast: Trump’s DO

The Goat's Bell Like in Heidi #dedicatedpoem #nextpoetrybook #lorijeanfinnila #womenauthor #literature #poetry

Image
Photo by Lori Jean Finnila To my big sister or aunt, whom I don't know her name, we were never formally introduced, who spent such a short while with me showing me what love was. The secret to magic and mystery the goat's bell like in Heidi I so remember as I so desperately held for comfort through her story as I was kept in my room so often Flutes I love that I want to write to precious sound that keeps my mind inspired dancing with beautiful feelings remembering all the gold I was taught to look for that was also on my darling play tea cup set just for me The look on your face that kept me going I can't imagine the pain I suffered  that you did when I was the black sheep  or a mess when I needed school lunch or clothes and remembering now from all that I learned what love is.

More Shots For My Poetry Book #cameras #photos #books #lorijeanfinnila #womenauthors

Image
  I used the sepia filter with these. Not all my shots looked good with this filter. I'm keeping the cost down on my next poetry book, as I did the last. I used different black and white filters for my last book and where I appreciate the book I want to move more nostalgic this new one. My camera isn't capturing pictures well enough clarity wise, though I like my compositions. Let's hope it's just a dark-light day in the park problem. I just thought I'd share a bit more of what I captured today. Any camera brand recommendations? Cannon Powershot seems to be letting me down. I get a great focus on a shot then lose it.

Remember Another Woman Dead in the Park #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #deadwomaninthepark

Image
  Image by  Dennis Peterson  from  Pixabay I remembered another woman passing, maybe more, in vain. Dead Woman in the Park: Unreasonable Expectations written by Lori Jean Finnila You are lost now not knowing what you see so sure of your fear before you die As you lay here dying no one hears you crying you eventually die eventually others who know your pain cry In the beauty of nature you find your last home perhaps finally feeling the safest ever perhaps it was a wanderer perhaps it was your fear that took you to your last day here I will remember you I know your journey I know your path I am a woman too who couldn’t fit into what was expected of us We all know too much we can’t fit into this triangle   of expectations that are unreasonably put upon us that no one can expect to live through but some do by chance Perhaps some still leave earlier Not in the same way yet they’ve all known the pain of the unreasonable expectation Some die of the exhaustion Some die of the cold Some die of
