What are Phyllis's I Have Something To Say poems all about? They say what you really desire to say but just don't know how. Not fairy-tale poems but reality based—what's going on in everyday life. Her poems are very inspiring as they promote positive thinking; they are also encouraging. Phyllis has a special way that she loves to pray—she calls it crying out to God, which simply means to be sincere and cry out from your heart, not just with your lips, and lastly, to reach out and touch someone, allowing someone into your world and connecting with your audience in knowing that she's been there too.
