For some, poetry or the spoken word isn’t their thing. For Rose Marie Wilson Byrd AKA One Single Rose, it changed the course of her life.

She began poetry as a way to express grief and heartbreak. The topics quickly changed, turning her words into uplifting lessons instead of the words of a woman scorned.
