My poetry is often referred to as straight from the heart most of my poems were inspired from my own personal experiences or from the inspiration I felt when talking to others .not necessarily my thoughts but the way I thought the other person felt, Within these pages you will find the expressions of many emotions tears of joy, sadness, laughter, love and many others, Some may even make you shed a tear or two, if so I was probably shedding a few of my own when I wrote it, I tell my friends and family that these poems were written in tears and they truly were. Not all of my poetry is sad and should apply to both male and female of all ages . I hope you enjoy my book and if you would like to comment on any of them you can contact me at mcaskeydrake @yahoo.com
