title: Sunshine BlackRose: From Orgination to Maturation A Transformation in Poetic Form
author: Aliscia A Melton
description: Aliscia began writing as a youth by journaling and creating stories. It was a way for her to deal with her emotions and turbulent upbringing. She later picked writing back up when she became involved with the Youth Ministry at church. She would write short plays, speeches, and poems for the children to recite. In 2012, Aliscia was re-introduced to poetry through friends and some personal struggles in her life. During this time she found solace in writing and her horizon was broadened as she saw her life story being written out in poetic form, which she refers to as her mind spillage. This caused her to share her work with others online and to eventually create a group through Facebook where all could come and freely express themselves in poetic form (Poetic Freedom Caf).https://www.facebook.com/groups/Poeticfreedomcafe/ Aliscia has been featured on The Literary Corner a blog radio show where she shared her art of poetry and on Eloquently Speaking an online magazine http://eloquentlyspeaking.homestead.com/aliscia.html She has also been featured as Poet of the month in Eloquently Speaking, a poetry group on Facebook and featured online at http://www.blacktopia.org/2015/05/books-sunshine-blackrose-from.html Aliscia has been featured on The Top 15 of the Month on the website www.ellemclin.com , A Shared Format 4 Poets, over 8 times for several of her poetry pieces, sometime making the list multiple times in one month for different pieces. Aliscia Melton is not only a poet but an entrepreneur, mentor, and community activist.
