Poem of Poems: Short Poetry

By Milford John-Williams Sr

Poetry is a way of expressing emotional feelings of joy or sadness through dialogue. In this book, the dialogue of self-aperture is conveyed in the simplest form of text that everyone who reads the short poetry in this book will understand. They may somehow see themselves as a caption in some of the poetry. If you do, feel free to sink yourself into it and read it out loud for fun.
