Ms. Suzanne Noble

Biography. I have been writing poetry since I was a young girl, which has matured over the years into a unique experience in my life. From the age of 14, I was filled with the passion of writing, and had a wonderful and unique teacher in English named, Faith. She inspired me and captivated my attention to continue writing poetry. She would ask me why I wrote about such sad thoughts, and my answer to her was that I was inspired to write when I was depressed and feeling sad. In grade seven, when attending Faith’s class, another English teacher picked me up and swept me out of Faith’s class into another group teaching Shakespeare. For whatever reason, I was not interested or captured by Shakespeare’s writings. My mother tried to reason with this teacher and told him to put me back into Faith’s class of creative poetry writing. Much to my dismay, I had to remain in the class learning Shakespeare. I completely ignored my poetry, and still not interested in learning Shakespeare, I just kind of closed up into a shell as far as poetry goes. Then at about the age of 18, I became inspired again, and began writing. Still, I would mostly write about the dark side of life. At the age of 18, I also began playing guitar and singing, doing some back-up work for some of my friends who were musicians. I always found myself to be shy and never wanting the lime light, so I would just help out doing some back-up vocals. I fashioned my music after people like Joni Mitchell, Carol King and Carly Simon. At the age of 26, I moved to San Francisco, California. After living there for about three months, a man I had met heard me singing, and told me to audition for the San Francisco Bach choir. I told him that I didn’t think I qualified, but he pushed me into going for an audition. Much to my surprise, I was asked to join the choir. I arrived the first day full of inspiration but also feeling very nervous. I didn’t realize that the songs would be sung in German and Italian. I felt so out of place that I decided not to return. I then moved to Santa Monica, California. I have found myself getting more and more involved in writing as the years go by. I write about love, happiness, dreams, sadness, despair, fear, depression, and being an adamant animal rights activist and vegetarian. Through this journey, I have captured my inner self and now will share my life's mysteries with you, the reader. I will share my passions and disappointments of life along the roads I have traveled. http://www.freewebs.com/suzanne1 http://www.poetrypoem.com/suzanne1 Sudden Thoughts Suzanne Noble Lulu (2005) ISBN 1411615476 Reviewed by William Phenn for Reader Views (9/06) Suzanne Noble was born in Canada and lives on the beautiful west coast of the United States. She began writing in High School at about the age of 14, mostly writing about dark and sad subjects, which at that time was what she was feeling. In her early twenties she began writing with new ideas and feelings. Suzanne is an adamant animal rights activist and has been a vegetarian for over 35 years. ”Sudden Thoughts” elaborates on Suzanne’s personal life experiences on such topics as love, happiness, dreams, sadness, disappointment, despair, tragedy, fear, sorrow, depression, and falling into the dark side of her soul. Her book is filled with a lot of emotion and compassion. Through this journey, she has captured her inner-self and shares her life's hopes, dreams, passions and the dark side with the reader. There are also the events in her life which she has written about as time has passed. She shares her feelings, trials, tribulations, and disappointments of life along the roads she has traveled. “Sudden Thoughts” is 134 pages of pure heartfelt soul. The poetry is diverse and very entertaining. Ms. Noble’s descriptions are vivid and paint mental pictures for the reader that is simply verbal art. “Tormented Mind,” with its description of the cremation of animals was gut-wrenching, as was “Grotesque.” and a few others. “My True Friend” was a lovely tribute to that special person. Suzanne exemplifies her prowess of the quill with many different styles. Palindromes are a difficult write, but Ms. Noble excels in this arena with such flair when she writes “Love Blooms, Cloudy Love and Minds Alike,” (just to name a few). Suzanne blends sincerity with the truth in life, giving readers a chance to be taken into her world. I thoroughly enjoyed “Sudden Thoughts” and recommend it highly to all lovers of poetry. Written with true professionalism and from the heart, “Sudden Thoughts” is worth buying. I am sure that everyone old and young alike would enjoy it and so it gets my highest A+ rating.
