    About this ebook

    Collage

    is a collection of poems that cater to those who dont usually care to read poetry, those who think poetry is only a bunch of word coupled together on pages in a book read by uncanny people and makes no sense at all. Poetry has taken its second wind and is no longer a compilation of twisted words that leaves the reader with a mental overload and smoke spewing from their ears. Collage is just as the name implies, a genre of poems by American and Ghanaian poets that covers an insurmountable range of topics, from the country life the author growing up as a child in Mississippi to the flavor filled verses and anecdotes of Ghanaian Poets or Poetess'. The Author is sure that this book will not offend with the Poets pen, but be a world wide treat that is very unique; offering inspiration, revelation, and stimulation to it's diverse readers.

    Abena Owusu Koranteng

    Mandy Fields, Koranteng was born in Natchez, Mississippi, the last child of John Lanus and Loubertha Fields, Lanus. Being the youngest of ten children, she often felt disliked and rejected. Being alienated by her sibling, Mandy sought quiet places where here imagination which had become her lone friend and playmate could recant onto paper her enumerable thoughts in poetic form. God blessed her to travel to Ghana, West Africa in 2008 where she met Isaac Owusu Koranteng, they married and now resides in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Her trip to Ghana greatly changed her outlook on the entire continent and has enable her to accumulate many friends there, as well as inspired her to organize a group of Poets called "The Master Poetz' whose works will be featured in this book. Mandy is a born again Christian who believes in the Holy Trinity and God's written word and our lives should reflect out beliefs.

      Last Night…

      the stars blew me a kiss

      the wind sang me a love song

      the clouds gracefully did a slow dance

      the moon blushed at the sight

      the trees applauded in utterly bliss

      the grass bowed to its fellow

      the falling leaves danced in mid air

      the small creeping things spread the news

      the comets celebrated the grand occasion

      all because…

      I wished upon a star

      basked in the wind

      floated on the clouds

      gazed at the moon

      admired the trees

      observed the grass

      watched the falling leaves

      listen to the creeping things

      And was blessed to see a comet

      Last night was a GOOD NIGHT

      Mother’s Love

      I REMEMBER MAMA IN A HAPPY WAY

      A mother’s love is worth more than gold

      It takes you further than riches untold

      She denies herself so that you can have the best

      Takes a morsel of meat, giving you the rest

      A mother’s love is sure and never will sway

      It’s entwined in her actions and the kind things she would say

      Always on the move, working her fingers to the bone

      Putting in very long hours, just to take care of her home

      A mother’s love wakes her up at the break of dawn

      To give God her first fruits morning by morn

      Each child’s name she mentions with care

      Thanking God for their lives in her daily prayer

      A mother’s love flows to all of man kind

      A woman of virtue by the Spirit divine

      The mantle is passed from mother to child

      Hard working and strong, yet gentle and mild

      My mother’s love taught me to find beauty in nature

      Inspiration for my writings, I really appreciate her!

      She encouraged me to keep my eyes toward the sky

      Said, that would be her pathway when her turn came to die

      Her days were numbered, and now she’s gone

      Memories of my mother helps me to carry on

      I can still hear her singing her favorite song

      PRAISING MY SAVIOR ALL THE DAY LONG

      Thanks be to God for my mother’s love

      Imputed from the father in heaven above

      No You, No Me

      Why am I so cold?

      My arms cringe to fold

      Amidst thoughts untold

      to weariness I am sold

      Yet I must stand bold

      Have you walked away,

      listening to what people say?

      Who caused you to sway,

      After you swore to stay?

      My heart you did slay

      Once again here I stand

      With one instrument from the band

      But through Christ I can

      Without bread or a man

      No audience, no fan

      Didn’t know you would leave

      My heart you deceived

      By a slippery tongue with slimy seeds

      My case I will not plead

      I will always succeed!!!

      Through Christ I can

      As we walk hand in hand

      Two instruments, a full band

      No you, just me, please understand

      My faith is in Christ and not a man

      God Said

      When tests and trials come your way

      Cast them down by my words you say

      Search the scriptures which is powerful and divine

      And exemplify your status as a child of mine

      An expression of Love

      In this game of Poetry, diversity is defined

      Each distinct individual is able to
