Excellent, Tonya!
Writing truly effective poetry (or anything!) is difficult. In this book you have truly gotten on your way. Two poems that struck me as particularly strong are Tears Ago and Determined. Both show your vulnerability and inner strength, and speak to the reader in a remarkably personal way. Both have separate strengths that shine through in the most engaging way. Keep up the great work!

What a little poet you are! My favorites are 'Remember me' and 'Tears Ago' just like Laz. Tears ago is a wonderful title. I wish I'd thought of it. Very good job.

Tonya...you, without any doubt, are a romantic. Love 'Tears Ago' aand 'Remember me'.

Thank you so much. I look forward to reading your books too. :)

Such inpirational words, I especially liked Life :)

I especially like Life is and Tears ago- Good reflections with so many truths said in a poetic way. thanks for the good read.

I always take a chance and read books I won't normally read. Your poetry is very beautiful, inspiring and each one had something unique. Thank you for sharing :)

What can I say that won't sound like a cliche? Awesome, inspiring, hopeful, thought-provoking, phenomenal, simplicity at it's best, hmm... They all sound like cliches unfortunately your book of poems was that and more. Every time I thought I had read the best one, it kept getting better and better. I hope you have it up for sell on Amazon, Barnes & Nobles and even Smashwords... The cover is beautiful and it really is appropriate for what's yet to come... Love your work...

I loved your poetry. My favorites were 'Tears Ago' & 'Forever.'
