What Poetry Means to Onney... "Poetry defines the intellectual capacity of ones being. It is the prophecy of one's thoughts, dreams, hopes and aspirations. Poetry can encompass many things, such as being an inspiration for freedom of speech through the art of writing and spoken-word. Poetry involves the creation of a broader imagination while targeting the reality of real life circumstances. Poetry is the art of spoken word"...Onney

"Never let a bad situation change you, because you have the power to change the situation...Irony is not always ugly...Experience breeds knowledge and knowledge breeds power and if used appropriately, power can be a beautiful thing. Nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream, so you must determine your destiny by planning for success. For those who fail to plan, plan to fail. For every action there is a reaction and for every reaction there is a consequence, so react wisely and determine your beautiful fate. Remember the Lord will make your enemies your footstool and pave the way for greatness"....Onney Infinite Silhouettes available now: Amazon
"I am intellectually impressed by your diversity and ability to impregnate my psyche with thoughts that are healthy for my spirit. Dissipating any doubt, Causing me to surrender my love without hesitation, bringing fourth revelations, Of circumstantial confusion, Now my mental is having multitudes of illusions..." Onney from her book Infinite Silhouettes.
