Rythum

Many of the poems have a good rythum and remind me of rap songs. But I was turned off by the many pages at the beginning of the books that were just reviews by people who.enjoued the work. Then at the end there where several pages of copyright notices instead of just the regular copyright page at the beginning of a book.

Over all it was a good read, but I wasnt pulled in like I wished to be. But poetry is like that. Ypu tend to either get it, or not. So if you like good rythum this one is still worth a try.

It’s clear how much heart and dedication went into this collection. The author’s passion for poetry and willingness to share personal reflections is evident in every page. I deeply admire the vulnerability and sincerity poured into these poems, and I’m grateful for the chance to read the work of someone who writes with such honesty and courage

This collection of poems is so vulnerable and honest, taking the reader on a journey through the ups and downs of life, love, grief, and society.

Drummond organizes his work into powerful themes and writes with a unique, deeply personal perspective. He doesn't shy away from the painful complexities of life, but he also beautifully celebrates its joys.

While the entire collection is thought-provoking and beautifully written, my favorite poems in the book were "Two Birds" and "Blue." They perfectly capture the emotional depth and clear, lyrical voice that make Drummond's writing so special. If you’re looking for poetry that is authentic and moving, I recommend this book.

Favorite lines: do you know/that glow in your eyes/clicks on, then off.” I think many of the other poems have promise, but don’t pack the same punch as this one.
