Our passion comes from our suffering and pain, and sometimes we lose passion becoming all tangled up in these troubles. Dreams are born from passion. Perhaps in some small way my words will touch the heart of my readers and stir passion and healing."

In pleasant thoughts and images so true to share in words of delight Fictionalscroll3 (HeartandSoul 0f Poetry)

Colleen Will touch your inner being with her lovely book of inspirational poetry. The title "Entangled Within The Nature of Things" suits these beautiful pieces well as she writes about the human nature and mother nature as it entwines with the spiritual.. These are touching and warm as she writes about Grandmas' Kitchen, Gods Eye on You , Reply from Heaven and many more. I enjoyed them all and would highly recommend Colleens loving and wholesome book to anyone

You could enchant from age 3 to 93. Your words are so inspirational , so vibrant. I believe all of us can be better just knowing you. Billy G Horton Author of Lil Sis

Entangled Within The Nature of Things is a collection of inspirational poetry that can hit home with anyone. Colleen's words seem to connect with my soul and inner thoughts. This book you can read over and over again, and get different answers to some of life's most asked questions time and time again. A refreshing book, that will stay on my coffee table for years!

Ancient Mirrored Dreams reviews

Ancient Mirrored Dreams" is a comprehensive compilation of poetic voice. Colleen Smith gives the reader insight of her inspirational vision using different mediums of expression. Her rhyme poems are unforced, keeping within the natural syntax, without distorting the visual that has been painted. One of my favorites is Smith's, “Silver Butterfly“. Ancient Mirrored Dreams" is a "poetry pleaser" for anyone that dares to dream. A nice way to spend an evening Tammy Fireflies, Moonlight and All That Jazz"

Colleen Smith's collection of poems is excellent from Alpha to Omega. From the depth of her being she expresses her faith, and the joy of heeling. From Difference (Verse Rhyme) to passion. The choices that we make and the Friendships that endure. A homage to her wonderful grandmother whowas there for her in her upbringing and even until she reached the valley.THe one in a million pearl. The sacrifice we must all make when a loved one is an addict. The silver butterfly. Whether it be free verse or narrative rhyme or just verse rhyme she poures her heart into every word. Her gift to the world both inspirational and spiritual for others to enjoy. For those who dare to look inside themselves. Thank you Colleen for sharing your innermost feeling with us. I now have read both of her books of poetry and recommend that you do too. Billy G Horton

The Truth On My Feet

When the hands of your journey reach down to guide

One store gave you shoes of the rarest kind
Not only to try on but wear
One gave you shoes just like all the rest
To judge if life has been fair

The rarest of shoes are made from truth
And can walk you through any test
Through winds of lies and perceptions of men
This shoe lifts you over the best

I”ve had shoes from… Continue
