As I am new to poems I think this one will be a good start and I like the quote that says, “If I could divide mankind into two categories, it would be bees and flies".

With such a wide variety of topics, I have to wonder if there is anything tying them together, like a common theme or themes, other than the fact that they were written by the same poet. It would be interesting if he found a way to connect such an eclectic collection. Even if not, the subjects of the poems sound like they could be worth a read. Thank you for the helpful review.

While I like the vintage cover design, I'm not a big fan of self-help novels. Hence, will have to pass on this one. But thanks for such a detailed review.

Poems will always have a special place in my heart. I'm always in awe how abstract thoughts are stringed together, most times in rhyming patterns, to make particular sense of send a specific message.
