Uncommon Poems Common People is a lovely book containing the compilation of poems for the readers' enjoyment. This book takes life experiences and real emotions and puts them into words as poems. It contains poems that narrate experiences which readers can relate to. It has some poems with really deep meaning and some that carry so many powerful emotions and could bring tears to the readers' eyes.

Uncommon Poems Common People could also serve as a type of life guide from which people can learn a thing or two; it could help many people trying to figure out life. It talks about love, friendship, loyalty, growth, memories, and more. When we speak of great poems, this book has a lot that would qualify for that category. It is an absolutely well-thought-out, and well-written poem compilation with an air of originality.

T.D. Kruser is an amazing writer when it comes to the writing of poems. After reading the entire book, and understanding the concept behind the poem compilation and how it was written- including why it was written in that manner and order- I have to call Kruser a genius (I do not mean that as a cliché). The poems were very relatable, some of them make you think about your own life situations- past or present. Although Kruser referred to himself or perhaps an imaginary character in the book when he used the words 'me' or 'I', the reader sometimes feels like the writer is referring to them; this could make the reader feel like they are the one feeling the emotion mentioned in that portion of the poem and that is one of the reasons I referred to Kruser as a genius.

This book is packed full of pros but it has one con (at least I consider it a con). Although the author explained his reason, I still feel the afterword should have been a foreword. I feel that would have increased the readers' interest while reading the book; it would have explained a lot too.

This book was an incredible read. I could sing T.D. Kruser's praise all day. He did a very good job with this book. For this reason, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I hope I can find more of this type of content from T.D. Kruser.

I recommend this book to readers who love to read poems. This book contains well-written poems, some of which could be written as lyrics to hit songs. If you are ever interested in reading poems, make sure you check out this book. It has everything you're looking for.

The fact that he can make the reader feel like they are personally involved in the poem says a lot about his ability as a poet. Unfortunately, poetry is not what I normally gravitate to. Thank you for a wonderful review!

I tend to prefer afterwords to forewords, as I just want the book to start. When reading for myself, I typically skip introductory material if it's long and doesn't seem particularly pertinent. Still, I understand why you'd feel differently.

Nothing is more satisfying than a good poem that will hit you so deep it will make you sober and it will make you cry as you relate to it with your whole being. Thanks for the review!
