Integrity*Amore*Unity...Blessed Be <3

Born March.27.1978,41, Mother of 2 girls Shaniya MacKenzie 14 and Totteaanna'Taylor 17. I have 6 piercings and 3 tattoos and I will be getting more I can't wait

My name is Trisha aka Senna ... I have been writing my poetry since 1991/92. Not only do I love to write poetry I also like being creative with my mind on creating different things but that's a whole different subject. Since 1991/92 I have written about or over 600 poems. They all range from okay to pretty good to all-out awesome and there are some when I re-read I ask my self "How did I ever think of that?" I have 2 poems published by poetry.com. My first poem was published when I was in 12th grade in my Creative writing class. I also finished my book "Whispers From The Mind"!! it's on Amazon woohoo to me lol

I went to Middle Smithfield Elementary from the grades K-5th, then to JT Lambert for the grades 6-8th, JS Bunnel for 9th grade and East Stroudsburg High for 10-12th grade all located in Bushkill and East Stroudsburg Pennsylvania. The school was alright but I loved going to Monroe County Area Vocational-Technical School aka Vo-Tech for Culinary but would like to pursue Pastry Arts for Deserts. I also want to open a NO-KILL shelter for all those defenseless animals that don't have a voice. I also would love to become a well-known author.

My Favorite poems so far would have to be 1)Noway Out, 2)You'll Never Walk Alone , 3)The Day You Begin To Live (this poem still amuses me on how I came up with it because if you think about it and really read it the first day you begin to live is actually the very first day you begin to die because your beginning to live your life out.), 4) Why Can't I Have You (This one is to a very special person, my sweetheart, my best friend 5)Nothing Lasts Forever, 6)To My Kitty Cat(this one is dedicated to my special Kitty cat that I adopted from my job at Resorts USA Tree Tops pool. He was my mascot for that pool. Tops would keep me company for the hours I worked until I went home. I wish I could have brought him home but my other cats would get mad at me n not like a new cat in their home lol but I will never forget that cat. He stayed with me until I left the job n the best part he wouldn't go to anyone but me. 7)The Day The Angels Cried ( this poem is dedicated to those that lost family n friends on 9/11. All my poems are my favorite but I am still deciding from over 600 poems so I may change my mind from time to time on which I like the best.

My poetry to me is very special and very helpful. It has helped me throughout my years of growing up. It kept me sane on days I felt like I was going to lose control and made me release stress when I wanted to cry. But most of all it made into the person I am today. I don't take things for granted and I try to live my life the best way I can. I will always have this talent for writing even if people disagree or try putting me down saying poetry will get me nowhere well when I first started with "Winter Is" on the year 1991/92 I would never believe that I have over 600 poems and some published. well I prove those that didn't believe in me wrong and I'm still creating more poetry and I always will.

I also have 2 more reasons to express the way I feel: my daughters: Totteaanna Taylor and Shaniya MacKenzie. Make sure to keep a lookout for poems about them in the future. Tott just turned 15 Her Bday is January-26-2002 and she was 6lbs 1oz.when she was born. and Shaniya MacKenzie just turned 12 years old n her bday is on February-24th- 2005 at 11:01 am n was 7lbs 1 oz. We are so happy for the gift of her life as much as we are with Totteaanna. I love them both of my girls n would do whatever it takes to keep them safe n protected by the craziness of the world...and from people trying to force things on them so yeah karma has this thing where it comes back at you and bites you so anyone that wants to mess with my kids should think twice before doing so...

Today is May.21.2016 A lot has happened. Well where to start?? I got married August-27th 2009 to my man I love but unfortunately, he passed in 2014/2015. We got our tattoos over the summer when we went to my uncle's beach house which was lots of fun...I also added to my family 4 loving kids 3 girls and one boy, love them like they r my own I haven't really talked to them since their father passed but hopefully in the future, we can connect again.

In the process of creating my book Whispers From The Mind....

My way of dealing with everyday stresses is through poetry. I strongly believe I'd be a different person wholesomely if I did not write poetry. It's my way to LET GO if you understand what I mean. And a fellow poet would understand completely because poets see people the way they would and things in a whole new light. Just like writers and singers and so on. I will be publishing 4 books of 200 poetry soon and I can not wait. This will be a life long dream to finally be able to accomplish, I've been wanting this for years...I have a lot of other things I'd love to accomplish but poetry is the first goal I want to complete and it soon will happen.
