Poets Rachael M. Colby and Patricia Tiffany Morris share various elements of poetry, introduce us to unfamiliar forms (such as reverse poetry and blacked-out poetry) and guide us into writing our own poems. Even if you don't think of yourself as a poet, this episode will deepen your understanding of using descriptive language in your writing. Besides, you may be a poet who doesn't know it! (Sorry--couldn't resist!)

PATRICIA: An enthusiastic writer, artist, and brainstorming creative, Patricia Tiffany Morris sketches ideas in her sleep, that is when she takes time to sleep. Reading and studying long hours at night served her well during architectural design studio at ISU in the eighties.
Her eclectic awards from 2019-2021 ranged from poetry, short fiction, children’s stories, to suspense and inspirational prose. Earning first place at BRMCWC in 2021 for her upcoming split-time novel, Patricia also holds publishing credits at The Ekphrastic Review, Word Weavers Int, Lyrical Iowa, and Guideposts. She has also published Journaling Scribbles collection of journals and planners.
Now an empty-nester, she’s inspired by her rhyming husband, who reads her suspense-filled fiction in delightful character voices and helps her brainstorm tech-laced plot threads woven with themes of forgiveness and hope.
Patricia actively supports fellow authors and offers geeky tech services for a minimal price & adores teaching others. Sharing about Christ through inspirational fictional stories, and artsy sermon note coloring pages keeps her dreams lively. She enjoys collaborating with other artists & writers. She adores Pinterest and hashtags but finds Twitter quirky. Connect with Patricia at [ Ссылка ].
