In the Mood for a Poem

The essential purpose of poetry and other personal writing is to share the writer’s thoughts on life and living and offer a picturesque sampling of the many ways human beings try to capture and tell our thoughts of God, man, and nature.


In the Mood for a Poem presents a topical, sectioned exploration of inspiration, love, nature, sisterhood, human state of being, the essence of true stories, and much more. Expressing much of her life’s passion, author Virla Rolle Barry seeks to give courage to the fainthearted and spirit to the brave at heart. She examines the phases of life through the lens of her personal journey, footprint, experiences, and memories in living from childhood through adulthood. Hoping to awaken lost yearnings and satisfy the senses, she reveals her inner spirit, knowledge, and love of God, nature, friendship, and bonding with people in an equal manner of existence.


This collection of poetry and other entries invite you to be a lover of God, self and etc.
