A poetic journey through a young woman's life experience. A vision quest complete with revelations included. Entertaining, touching.

In just 65 poems, Tonya D. Floyd captures a broad spectrum of emotions, exposes simple human truths, educates the reader on the struggles of a young woman, and provides an outlet for those who have ever felt alone, afraid, or ashamed about some life event. This book is refreshing. It has something for everyone who has ever felt, well, anything.   



Excerpt

Shopping List

Meat and Potatoes:
Filet Mignon, London Broil, or Porterhouse would be just grand.
Flexible enough to go with everything and able high temps to withstand.
Add to this a heaping helping of confidence on the side.
Then top it off with moral values and principles by which he abides.

Drinks:
I like an amaretto sour; smooth with just the right amount of bite.
Sex on the beach takes me to the ultimate heights.
Fuzzy navels used to be my absolute favorite.
But I’ve grown a little bit; give me cognac so I can savor it.
Maybe I’ll branch out to scotch, whiskey, or brandy.
Aged perfectly—ooh, that could come in handy.
That should make for an incredible time.
Perhaps I should consider a palate-pleasing wine.
A nice Chardonnay, or a blush like Zinfandel.
No; Merlot is much better; it accompanies red meat well.
(I believe I am actually going to pull this thing off.
I’ll be looking good, smelling good, and feeling oh so soft.)

Appetizers:
Which should I choose—a Caesar or garden salad?
As long as we have greens, it really shouldn’t matter.
Then again, we’ll go with Caesar—lots of greens with bread accents.
Oh yes, I like that better. That’s the perfect accompaniment.
Now, I love seafood, but I’ll skip the shrimp.
Give me a tall order of calamari with a jalapeno dip.

Dessert:
Chocolate, caramel, butterscotch, and vanilla too.
Any of these fine flavors will most certainly do.
Oozing with charm, personality overflowing,
Wrapped up in sex appeal with just a little edge showing.

Now that’s how you make a meal with all the right ingredients.
I can hardly wait. I’ll attack this meal with such expedience.
I just have to do a little shopping before-hand.
To make sure I bring home the right kind of man.



Professional Reviews

This lady is awesome!
This lady is AWESOME. All of her books are straight talk - no chaser! This particular book makes you think and helps you to understand that you are not by yourself and actually all of her books gives you the same feeling. She keeps it real and if you are a lady and/or man, you know EXACTLY what she is talking about and most likely you have already been where she has been... The difference is like Steve Harvey, she is putting it out there to give everybody a heads up on the game.

Swiss pocket knife.
Just when you're feeling alone in the World and the answer to the age old question, 'Is it just me?' might just be, 'Yes!' along comes this little tool to tell you you're not alone and it's not just you. I laughed (alot), cried, but more than anything I pumped my fist in the air and said, 'Yeah -- that's what I'm talkin' about'. This is a great tool -- like a Swiss pocket knife -- for getting you over the bumps in life.
