ALL ABOUT MY BOOK OF POEMS! Latricia Redmond
4-17-08




My book is about poems. My poems express how I feel and what I think about most of the time. Most of my poems are dedicated to people. They are dedicated to people because it is a way of expressing my thoughts and feelings to them. It may seem strange, but sometimes writing is the only way that I can say what I truly mean. I feel that these poems are the only way that I can get a point across.
In my book I dedicated one of my poems to my biological mom. It mainly asked her questions that I had wanted to ask her for the last ten years and it also let her know that I am doing fine and that everything will be alright with or without her. Another poem I wrote was to my boyfriend, Antonio Jackson, and it was telling him how much I loved him and letting him know how happy he made me just being by my side.
I also wrote a few poems dedicated to the people who do not know me and try to talk about me behind my back. It let them know that I am struggling and that I have a lot of things on my mind. It let them know that I am who I am and I will not change for anyone! A few of my poems that I wrote was for me to have faith in myself and to try to stay motivated and to continue to tell myself to stay in school and to tell myself to keep my head up because I can make it if I try.
