What makes the world go ‘round but love, love, love? 22 Love Poems: 22 Romantic Poems for 22 Lovers on Valentine’s Day by Gina Nemo rocs in white girl rap
love poetry. The universal theme of forever love spins in, with this New Age progression of the beat. There is something timeless about the magic of love poetry
that exists in the hearts and minds of people on the journey, love as the desired paradise of healing, belonging and arrival that entrances people into the place
of poetry. 22 Love Poems, a selection of poems from the books of poetry, Scarlet and Carousel, this is a sweetheart pocketbook collection,
that perfect gift of love for someone special on St. Valentine’s Day. Gina Nemo (Poet, Writer, Actress, Teacher, Musician, Singer, Songwriter, Producer, Director,
Marketing Director, Hollywood Palindrome) lives and works in California. She was a co-star of the popular television show 21 Jump Street for which she won
an Emmy. She has written 5 books of poetry, produced 3 audiobooks, 3 CD's of music, and produced the movie VOICES about contemporary Poets, amongst other projects.
The love elixir in dreamworks, the worship of the resident love god, these sensual poetry offerings are the essential Gina Nemo. The poetry is a New Age gift, that
plays within the shadows, within the light of love, a song of the American carousel. The passion and the mystery entwine, resounding with enchantment, the images are
woven with the fury of the natural world, the storms, the currents of oceans and the fire inside the romance of longtime love.
“NUCLEUS
The center
Where we are
Igniting stars
From our hearts
Stealing dreams
Yours and mine
Walking on light
Looking for calm
Bringing our souls
From dusk ‘til dawn
You are the nucleus
Of my deepest thoughts
Where time escapes
And life grows branches
That lead us right back
Where we started
Walk with me
To the center of time
Where everything else
Means nothing
We are here
Nowhere else to go
Passion, love and lust
In the nucleus of us.”
The song is a white girl rap beat, with short staccato lines that rhyme almost every second line, a flow of broken and light that calls on the heavens for happiness
in love. Rapture by Debbie Harry and Blondie was the first rap song to gain international attention by scoring number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Chart
in 1981. This was the first white girl rap song, a funk/punk mix that entranced the world and sky rolled rap and hip hop music into popularity. 22 Love Poems
is an American girl adventure in romance inside the cosmos, the heat, the love, the magic in rap poetry, a New Age innovation in form.
“SMOKE AND FIRE
We are like
An explosion
Like a season
That lasts
All yearlong
We are like
Warm water
With music floating
On an endless
Love song
We are like
Smoke and fire
Igniting clouds
They carry us
As our heat
Travels along.”
The poetry riffs on hope and dreamspeak, the incredible light in broken places, celebrating the ancient pagan rites of the season of love. With the steady rhythm and
rhyme, casting a magic spell for forever love. This brilliant pocketbook in the Beat tradition, transforms into the New Age poetic Muse, is a celebration of
St. Valentine’s Day, the day of lovers. Shaking out the cold of winter, wrapped in a blanket by the fire with a hot drink and 22 Love Poems by Gina Nemo.
Love . . . love in the third degree.

The Japanese tradition of Haiku is enjoying a Renaissance in Western culture as many Poets pick up their pen to write in this enigmatic form. First popularized in
Japan by Matsuo Basho in the 1700’s, this beautiful nature imagery driven form in few words, is fantastical weaving light into darkness, in a breath. Poet Nemo was
writing an Haiku every day for a year, a celebration of her life’s journey and arts calling, this is a compilation of her Haiku writing practice. She is the wise
child with a magical representation of life in the everyday, through the enigmatic presentation there are glimpses of happenings, the day, thoughts, a certain
photograph in time. Little girl lost, little girl found, falling into sunshine, a journal of days.
"RACE THE SKY
Dancing in her dreams
Wishing she could fly to him
Race the bluest sky"
"SHE WANTS TO DANCE
She is dressed to dance
Fire inside her slippers
Currents in her heart"
The images are based in romance with elements of nature and often with the themes of art, time and truth. There is great joy and happiness, but on the edge is the
shadowland America, the undertoad of violence in serial love relationships.
"HE GAVE HER LILIES
She wanted roses
He gave her lots of lilies
They floated with love"
"TIME DISAPPEARS
Time is like a dream
It disappears with journeys
Ends up in your heart"
The Haiku form is for the most part traditional Haiku in 17 syllables, 5 – 7 – 5. Also, most of the Haiku rhyme regularly in rhyming couplets at the end of the poem.
As if East meets West, the traditional Haiku form with elements of the rhyme of Shakespearean sonnets, the Haiku become, a mix of romance and white pagan magic for
true love.
Gina Nemo, glimpses of her everyday, romance and art, a celebration of American girl nation in Haiku poetic form. And love into the long night,
