Book, "Sins of a Poet"

Ok, everybody, here comes another book of poetry. This book is by far one of the edgiest books I've written with, what some have said are, eyebrow-raising, thought provoking poems. It's just me flipping the switch on poems I have used to writting, coming from the "hopeless romantic" person, to a person coming out of a shell. I wanted to do something different.

In comparison to, One Voice, A Thousand Words of Music, this next book I can say is going to blow the first book out of the water. Not just in the poems itself, but the overall look of the book. Writing this book is definitely a challenge because it meant getting away from the lovey-dovey type poems, and getting into the nitty gritty of reality and growing up as a woman and as a mother. Looking at life in a different perspective and not taking love for granted, but for what it is, and realizing it's not about fun and games and that you don't get everything handed to you on a silver platter. Face it, there those harsh realities that we all have to face at one time or another.

How this book will actually be embraced once it hits the streets? I honestly can't say. It's not even finished, yet, and I am already nervous...but in a good way. With that said, the poem already posted on this blog is just a taste of poems to come. Look for other sneak previews!
