LIVE YOUR DREAMS


LIVE YOUR DREAMS


TRIP TO UNIVERSAL STUDIOS
Boatloads of fun were in store for our families,
At Universal Studios in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
We took the tram tour through the studios’ alleys,
To experience special effects, we see in the movies.
Flash floods, a plane crash, and falling rain,
Jurassic World, the parting of the Red Sea, a derailed train,
Jaws, a burning building, the six-million-dollar man,
King Kong, the Mummy’s tomb, the giants’ land.
Spiders crawled all over the tram, we panicked.
Screamed out our lungs, unaware it was a camera trick.
At Water World, sprayed with hoses by the hosts we met.
Enjoyed the magnificent show while dripping wet.
At Van Helsing: Fortress Dracula, a horror house,
Huge, dark, and like a maze, I felt like a mouse.
Scary-looking creatures and vampires kept grabbing me.
We spent a long time trying to reach the exit to be free.
The Wild West, with cowboys and horses, was great fun.
Backdraft was a burning inferno special effects movie rerun.
We sat in the cinema to see Shrek II and Terminator II.
In our seats, we felt every movement on the screen too.
Universal Studios is a film studio and theme park.
It’s also available in Europe, Florida, and Japan.
One of the fun places to put on your bucket list.
Take young ones, even grown-ups, and pay a visit.

My friend, Brenda since the age of 18, 
we became friends when I 
ventured into the workforce, 
after graduating from high school.
We lived in the same town. 
She was an inspiration to me then, and even now.  
Her latest poetry book, “Treasured Memories” 
is definitely well-written
 & documents her travels around the world 
very explicitly, in prose and photos.  
For anyone who has not visited some of these countries, 
you should purchase a copy.
It is also a thoughtful Christmas gift, for the aspiring poet. 
I have read practically all of her books.
One of the most educational is “How to Write for Success”. 
This book is very informative for anyone contemplating a future in 
Literature. 
Keep on writing, Brenda.
I am very proud of you and all your accomplishments and 
accolades over the last several years.

TREASURED MEMORIES WILL MOTIVATE AND INSPIRE EVERY READER

 




TREASURED MEMORIES  WILL MOTIVATE AND INSPIRE EVERY READER

TREASURED MEMORIES by award-winning, multi-genre author Brenda Mohammed, is an exceptional book of poetry travel adventures, and memorable events, that will inspire and motivate every reader to achieve more in their lives.
The author writes about her travels, marriage, the birth of her children, and the many successes in the lives of her family.
The poems are all positive and motivational.
As stated by Alem Hailu of the Ethiopian Herald in a recent interview with the author, “To uplift the mood of the bedridden, whose life despair has eclipsed, and to enthuse emerging authors they could climb to an ivory tower, even dragging their last leg from a morass with perseverance, there could be no better example than the footpath of internationally-published-renowned-author-poet Brenda Mohammed.”
The background of the cover for TREASURED MEMORIES is the beautiful city of Venice in Italy, which the author visited a few years ago., and is the setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet play. The cover has snippets of Rome and the Leaning Tower of Pisa that she visited too. Here is a poem on Venice which is one of the poems in the book. VENICE From Florence, we took the Eurostar to Venice in the Adriatic Sea. With no roads, travelled in a waterbus from the train station to hotel and did see. Lining the banks of the Grand Canal were gothic palaces, gardens, and bridges. After disembarking the water bus, walked to our hotel with our suitcases. The sublime capital of revelry, intrigue, and romance, had a magical atmosphere. Known as the 'City of Canals,’ it’s famous for gondola rides and carnival affairs. Helpful hotel staff booked us on a water taxi, To take us on a grand tour of the Murano Glass Factory. We saw how jewelry, chandeliers, and glass products were made. The meals in Venice are delicious and all fish-based. The ‘City of Love, was the setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet play. I hope to return to Venice again some day. Copyright@Brenda Mohammed
