Words of a Poet is a collection of my own personal poetry as well as famous poetry that inspires me. I also have different song lyrics as they are their own form of poetry. It may not make a lot of money, but I know it’s touched a lot of people. I have been able to share my poetry with people as well as post submitted poetry. This website is an example of my passion for love, people, and life.
I have famous poetry from Jimmy Santiago Baca, Antwone Fisher, and Tupac Shakur. There are lyrics from artists like Brianna Taylor, Maroon 5 and Leona Lewis.

Sabraya sent me this poem, filled with such emotion [...] - This is one of my favorite poems and I can’t believe I didn’t have this one published on here. This poem was actually inspired by a book as well as how I felt at the time. High school can be brutal.
The book was The Afterlife by Gary Soto.

Like a ghost
You see right through me
Invisible [...] - This is an interesting poem, not my style at all, however I did want to add it on here. What do you think?
The Bog Road
The road wound down past Mureen Hill
Still, dull, glaucous
The place where my Mother was born
Towards the strange silent bog
Its forbidden charms and sweet earthy scents
Compelled me there every day
I drank in [...]
