POETIC PRAISE is an inspirational poetry book. It was birthed from the author's personal experience, exposure, perception and revelation. The poems are distinctive and diverse in theme and length. As the title succinctly suggests, the focus is on praise and worship. The author, D. Marie Braggs, imbibes contemporary challenges we -- at some point -- encounter, such as stress, doubt, temptation, greed and loneliness. She proffers uplifting, spoken word as a complementary coping mechanism.Summarily, D. Marie is constantly reminded through personal blessings that there is a Heavenly Father who watches over all of us, who loves unconditionally and always! What more motivation than this would one need to acknowledge such wonderful favor?
