Summary: My first poem I have written is in this book.
Comment: The first poem I have ever won an award for is in this book. It is in honor of my Father which is entitled "Thank You Daddy". It was an honor for the International Poets Society to select ME to have this poem published. For any new peot out there,poetry.com is a wonderful place to go. I have read many poems in this book and they are wonderful. For any poet, it is a great book and for those that are not, it is a heartwarming book to read with the biographies of some of the authors in the back of the book.

Summary: Poetry from the depths of society.
Comment: It's not hard to understand the reason "Rainstorms and Rainbows" caught the poetic core of writers across America. The book was compiled by the International Library of Poetry, and most submissions were handled by Poetry.com in a poem contest. The poems were required to be 20 lines or less, and within those 20 lines, the authors entered their thoughts, feelings, moods and opinions. Reading through just the first few pages sends a wave of inspiration through your whole outlook on life. As apparent in most popular poetry, there is a fair amount of depression-backed poems here, but there are breaks in the clouds. The poems are displayed approximately 8-12 per page, and at 200+ pages, that's a lot of reading! It was originally made to be a coffeetable periodical, which it seems to handle quite nicely. I review this book as one of the contributing authors to it. I received my copy a few weeks after it released to the public, and was blown away at even 11 year olds who spoke clearly about life and the preminitions they have about growing up. There are even bios about the authors in the rear of the book, and an author index for fast searching to a particualr contributor. For the price, you can buy several books at one time boasting to be true poetry, but the magnatude of this book defies all other compilations I have read to date. I highly recommend "Rainstorms and Rainbows", even as an author trying to get inspiration. You'll won't find a modern day poet compilation like this for a while, so get your inspiration while you can.
