Butterfly Doves


Book Description

As a young poet, I am a humble, quiet and deep thinker. A lot of times I meditate on God Almighty, Jesus Christ and I also choose meditation as an everyday stress reliever. I started seriously writing poetry in 2003, to be honest; I never really liked poetry and Shakespeare, when I was much younger. It was until one day, I had feelings for a girl, and I wrote from the bottom of my soul to my heart, I poured my heart out in that poem. After that poem, I entered a poetry contest and lost, but I kept on writing, soon after a while, my hunger for poetry grew. The amazing part of my life is that God Almighty has saved me so many times in life, I have a reason to breathe, and what may blow peoples minds. Is the fact that my mother told me, that she read poetry to me, while I was in her womb. So I was already gifted before I existed in this world. I am inspired by lifes struggles, my own ups and downs, the simple things in life and other artists that are poets and musicians in one. Poetry to me, is a beautiful form of art, that expresses my true feelings on paper without using paint on a canvas, I am using words to paint my picture. Poetry is also an expressive form of therapy as an outlet. Overall, I just want people in the world to know, that we all have a purpose in life, and that being human is not easy. My final way of thinking, is that I want to at least build a small legacy, starting with Butterfly Doves.




Attracting Birds and Butterflies


Book Description

A quick-reference guide to attracting birds and butterflies for gardeners with little experience and time. In the eye of a bird or butterfly, the typical suburban landscape resembles an unfriendly desert. Closely mowed lawns, tightly clipped shrubs, raked-up borders, and deadheaded flowers mean no place to nest, no food to eat, and nowhere to hide. To the humans who live there, this means no bird songs, no colorful butterflies, no dazzling hummingbirds, no night-sparkling fireflies. Creating a garden that welcomes these creatures may seem like a confusing and complicated task, but the principles involved are relatively simple. Essentially, wildlife needs food, water, and shelter, just like we do, and this lavishly illustrated guide shows which plants attract which creatures, and how to plant and care for them.
