Her language is Spanglish
Her accent is thick
she delivers a couple
of poems every week
She's a master at word play
her work's off-the-hook!
she would dearly appreciate it
if you purchase her book

Pretty
The one time I feel pretty
is when I'm pretty sure
that one day I'll be selling
in all the local stores
To critics everywhere
and all poetic fans:
My naked soul I bare...
... and I thank you in advance

ABOUT THE BOOK
The title of my book came about as I was writing a poem
The poem was originally called "bio"
it was to describe me, what i liked, what i was like...
one of the lines had the words "Love is... addict" in it
which is the name of my favorite comic Love is...
I needed a word that rhymed with the word addict
As I'm addicted to my poems (I'm my biggest fan) :)
I thought, why not "Poem-atic"?
At first, I thought I had made up this word
without realizing that this word was already in the dictionary
When it was decided that I would call my book "Poem-atic"
the title of the poem was no longer "bio" but the word itself
"Poem-atic" is a collection of poems in which word play is one of its main ingredients
Imagine if we could order a baby at our favorite restaurant. How fantastic is that?
Or literally eat a "hot" dog. The thought!
How about riding a poem all the way to South America?
Many of us can write poems, but have you ever ridden one?
Picture it! The possibilities are endless!
This book is comprised of small engaging poems
They are brief and to the point
Read them out loud to your family and friends
Share them, pass them on
Buy this book for yourself or as a gift to someone you love
I promise you, it will be money well-spent!
Poem-atic is...
One hundred and nine poems
for your reading pleasure
quality that can't be beat
rhymes for you to treasure
Purchase it online
or locally upon request
an investment in brain food
and one you won't regret
