The Girls of Shiloh and Other Poems

And from that moment on, I was hooked. However, it was a more recent work by Ozee that caught my eye. Now in his early 20s, Ozee has branched out to writing stories for children.

Despite no longer being a kid, Ozee has shown that he is still a child at heart. The book itself is set around a little boy named Shiloh and his mother. It addresses the selfless bond they share and highlights the true importance of family.

But I won't share the whole story you'll have to read it yourself , since it was the actual reading experience that stood out to me. According to Ozee, he began writing at the age of five. His poetry was first published at the age of 15 and he has since authored nine books of poetry and one children's book. It was love at first poem.

Biography of Shiloh Thompson

It never did, and still doesn't make sense to me. All through junior and high school, my poetry began taking on a darker turn. One might call it 'emo' in this day and age. Many of my poems scared me with the depth of the anger and depression they contained.

Frightened, I would destroy them after writing them, not realizing those poems were windows into my very soul. Slowly, I began realizing the severity of my depression, and turned to the loving arms of a friend and my true passion: It took one stubborn Arabian gelding named Shadow to turn my life around. Other horses had helped, but he finally straightened me out.

He was as black as the mahogany he was named after, with a crooked white blaze as crooked as his heart and two white socks. Much like the stallion of my childhood, I was one of few people that could ride him without paying dearly in pain for the chance. He was so much more than an animal; he was, and is, my soul mate.

Boys, it seems, come and go. After severing a two and a half year long relationship with a man I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with, I moved away to a different state, leaving him and Shadow behind. Missouri was a quiet place to relocate to.

This violent and gruesome story of the threatened rape of the Levite, of the offering up for rape of the daughter and the concubine, and of the gang-rape, killing and dismemberment of the concubine is — once events move away from Bethlehem to Gibeah — sparsely told.

There is every reason to believe that this brutal story elicited horror. Subsequent events related in Judges 20—21 are war and more rape and the call for stronger leadership in the form of a king, to put an end to mayhem.
