National Poetry Month Contest

Posted by : Shenna Nanette | On : April 4, 2012

Category: Uncategorized

I decided to do another contest since it’s National Poetry Month.  I didn’t write a poem a day like most, but I will be posting some of my favorite poems by others on even calendar days beginning today.

I am giving away a signed copy of  my book “28″ AND a $10 gift card to Amazon.com to TWO lucky winners.  

This is an excerpt from my favorite “love” poem:

 I love you
   because you made me
     want to love you
   more than I love my privacy
     my freedom   my commitments
       and responsibilities
 I love you 'cause I changed my life
   to love you
   because you saw me one friday
     afternoon and decided that I would
 love you
 I love you I love you I love you

  What is the title of this poem and who wrote it? 

There are TWO ways to enter this contest: 

  1. Follow me on twitter @ShennaNanette and tweet the answer with the hashtag #28poetrymonthcontest to me.
  2. Like “28″ on Facebook and post answer on wall with hashtag #28poetrymonthcontest

You can enter more than once to increase your chances of winning.  I will add a number to each entry and randomly pick two winners.  However, you must include the hashtag for your entry to count.

Contest ends Saturday, April 28, 2012 and winners will be announced Monday, April 30, 2012

GOOD LUCK!!!

As Always,

Category: 28, From the heart

… and I am sooooo thankful!  I love the feedback and just all of the amazing positive energy I’ve received.   This was a long journey for me and it was something I was scared to do because I didn’t know how to be completely vulnerable.   When writing I am 10000% myself.   I’m honest, stripped, pure, raw, unedited, unmasked, and the list goes on.   Saturday, I decided to have a book release with my close family and friends.  I wanted my first signing to be intimate and personal.  I had a great time.  A lot of people have been requesting I have another one and I’m considering it.   I’d like to share a few photos from the event.

I’d like to personally thank everyone who attended, sent well wishes, and just supported me whether in person, via text, and/or message.  Words can’t express how thankful I am.

If you’d like to purchase a copy of 28, click the book on the right and it will lead you to the site for purchase.  I sign and ship each book myself.  I decided to make it that way because I wanted it to be personal. This is the main reason why the book isn’t available on e-readers, amazon, and Barnes & Noble.  I will probably do it with my next book, but this one is extremely personal and important.

A lot of people have been asking about the house on the cover.  That is the house I grew up in.   It’s located in Morgan City, LA.  It’s the location of my first poem.  I wrote it there when I was 10 years old.  I had to have the house on the cover.

Once again, I’d like to thank everyone for supporting me.  I will start blogging again soon, since I put it on hold to finish my book.  I will also post reviews as they come.  Thanks again!!!!  I love you all!!

As Always,

LIVE|LAUGH|LOVE

So I guess I can announce the surprise now.  It’s official!!! ’28′ is complete and will go on sale March 17th.  ’28′ is my love story in poetic form.  I’ve been writing poetry since the age of 10 and decided I should share it with the world.  It’s the first book I’ve completed and published.  There are 28 pieces of happiness, sadness, tears, smiles, and growth in LOVE.   “Everyone has a love story…. here’s mine”

With that being said, I am giving 2 lucky people the chance to win signed copies before it’s released to everyone else.

To enter finish this poem…

Roses are Red

Violets are Blue

I dream in color
