* Poetic-Philosophy - Poetry with both rhythmic and non-rhythmic rhyming schemes, written  with philosophical undertones, meant to stimulate new thoughts and ideologies. __________________________________________________________________  Authors Blog from Baseline International: Maurice Skillern has created a wonderful mixture of rhythmic verse and free flowing thought with his new book "Messages". It covers subject matter, thoughts, and ideas that far outdistance the status quo, leaving all who have read it pleasantly amazed. "Messages" though, is not just a poetry book but it is truly a marriage of unique thoughts in forms of both rhythmic prose and written word. We at Baseline International were simply astonished by the depth of the piece "Answers for the Children" found within its pages. An early editor's note, we feel closely captures the essence of the book. (Maurice Skillern's poetic prose is unique, and his inspirations come in a very different, very personal way. It shows in his work. This man can WRITE! Read his work, his "Pieces" as he calls them. You will be touched, torn, rattled, and made to think - and feel. These renderings of philosophical contemplation reach deep into the reader's gut for feelings that can't be exposed by mundane ponderings. "Messages" contains messages for everyone who slips between the covers for the briefest foray into the possibilities open to Mankind. )     There are few writers today who will tackle the serious issues we face but Maurice Skillern accomplishes this in a subtle yet definitive fashion. Whispering (not shouting) new insights through his prolific use of words. One must truly see and read the entire book to experience the totality of his vision. His book, "Messages" is now available at all the major book stores and autographed copies can be acquired from Baseline International Publishing LLC (Baseline International Publishing LLC). Also a sample of his work "Rapture" (Baseline International Publishing "Messages" Samples Page) can be found on the Baseline International Publishing LLC website. This particular piece delves into Revelations with a poetic flair that captures the essence of the question of where will you be when the rapture comes??? ___________________________________________________________________________ In the end, we strongly feel that his work will be looked at as a classic for its unique combination of thoughts and emotions; some as dark as Edgar Allan Poe's, while others are as light as Maya Angelou's. This unique dual-singularity will without doubt start a fire of new thoughts.
