Lessons Of The Heart

About the Book

The book is a non-traditional poetry book about my life and other stuff through my senior year in high school. It's got about everything love, life, break-ups, troubles, death, etc... it's a well rounded book that can keep you interested even if you don't like poetry because its non-traditional. Which means some rhyme and some don't. Its like a picker upper, once you start you can't stop, some are about people that I've encountered in high school. One was even written for one of my friends and I decided to use it in this book. Which that poem might cause a little controversy but that's OK. And the last poem was written for my girl scout leader that died of cancer and I actually wrote it three day's before she passed and I was never able to read it to her. So I put it in this book so that one day I know she'll hear the words and love it. Then you have the lovey dove y poems that I wrote about me and my boyfriend. Some of them are harsh while others are about being together forever. So the poems can get you a little happiness, sadness, and can make you cry, while others you might not get where I'm coming from. But there's something in this book for everyone.
