    About this ebook

    The Dyke Diet is a glimpse into two different worlds. It is a compilation of poems broken into two parts. The first half represents my head first plunge into life with women and the few years that followed. The second half details the return to a full course serving of emotion over the last year and the man that footed the bill. It is an indescribable feeling to find pure happiness in another person. This is merely my attempt to put those emotions into words.

    This is for anyone who has ever loved another.
