    About this ebook

    This book contains a wide variety of poems that openly expresses different occasions from the authors point of view. The author puts himself in each poem to easily relate to the different situations. It’s interesting to see how he uses his God given creativity to display his feelings through words. This is Mr. Collins first book as the world will look forward to many more from this young man. He is a definite asset to the poetry community and without further delay, I give you fifty of the greatest poems you’ll ever read presented by The New World Poet also known as Mr. Luther T. Collins.
