Poems to Measure What you Treasure in Your Life

By Calibrate

This book consists of twenty-four poems written over the span of twenty years. Most of the poetry is very real and wildly witty. Each of the poems was meticulously written to ensure my interpretation of life at that moment. I hope each person can correlate at least one or more of the poems to their own personal experiences. Life is always full of twists and turns around every corner, and each of these poems conveys a meaningful message about life. Over my seventy-plus years of living, I have experienced plenty of relationships, sorrow, and love throughout time. Here, you will have a glimpse into my life through my interpretation and poetry. So that maybe some readers will be able to truly measure what they do treasure in their own life.
