My heart
has ached for poetry from a very young age. I remember reading Where the
Sidewalk Ends and A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein. As I grew older my
mind begin to crave dark literary authors such as Edgar Allan Poe; my favorite.
But I also enjoyed, Robert Frost, Maya Angelou, and Langston Hughes. Even King
David's Psalms lit a light in my heart. The more I read, the more I wanted to
contribute to the dying language of poetry so I begin to write.
Sorrow (taken from Slopjar)
Who knew my heart
would ache like this,
who knew the pain
I carried
beaten on my back
by whips of steel,
I lie broken,
crushed, dismembered by the lies of betrayal.
Lord help me now,
Im a bruised woman
tortured by
withered dreams and faulty words.
I sit amongst
demons and bitter souls
I am a bruised
woman
beaten down by
false love
false hope,
false words.
I sit alone
clouded by satan's heroes
I suffocate on
their stench
I vomit from their
touch,
Lord help me now,
I'm amongst the
dead.
Awaken me like
Lazarus,
Anoint my head
with oil
breathe life into
my lungs and grace upon my soul.
Make me a cleansed
woman,
cleansed of aches
and pain,
sorrow and shame,
Erase the devil’s
curse
and write me a
lullaby.
Let me soar,
let me fly, let me
enter
eternal happiness.
I now sit a
cleansed woman.

About the Author:
Originally from Shreveport, Louisiana, Ingrid Jennings is what one would call a true Lioness. As a wife and a mother, she is loyal and a protector. As a publishing guru, she is a team player and works with her clients toward their success. As a teacher, she is passionate about education, and as a business woman, she is always on the hunt for new opportunities to learn and grow. She wears many hats and handles each situation in stride and with ease.
With a B.S. in biology and chemistry from Palm Beach Atlantic Christian University, Ingrid decided to go a step further, to get a step closer to her true passion by excelling with her masters degree in reading education from Nova Southeastern University.
Ingrid spent three years working as a public school teacher in Palm Beach County, teaching integrated science to ninth graders. While teaching, Ingrid self-published her poetry into her first book titled Slopjar. Slopjar recieved rave reviews not only for its creativity, excellent writing, and self expression but also for the excellence of its publishing and marketing. Through the experience and knowledge gained while publishing and marketing her own book, Ingrid gained an appreciation for the inner workings of the publishing world and ultimately birthed her own publishing company Lioness Publishing House.
