I think I'm gonna find portions in the book that drive serious thought provoking meaning to my head. I'm not a lover of poems but I'm gonna give this book a try. Thanks for the review.

I took time to read through and can say the author is not too technical nor does he use complicated phrases. It speaks more about life happenings.

I did not expect a poetry book with the cover it has (although the cover does have a somewhat surrealist feel to it that could go well with certain kinds of poetry). The themes here sound relatable, and the variety in the style (rhyming vs. non-rhyming, etc.) could be appealing. I’m not really in the mood for poetry right now, but I’ll keep this in mind for the future. Thank you for the helpful review.

Such an enthusiastic review. I like the sound of this book, especially the use of symbolism and other figures of speech, and I like the topics highlighted here. Also, unlike you, I like the cover of the book.
Congratulations, BOTD.

The book's title sounds poetic to me. The font choice and its size and alignment could be better, in my opinion. As for the material's content, the author seems to be full of wisdom, and the poems he authored are proof of that. Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

I like poems that relate to every day experiences. I'm particularly interested in the one that talks about the luxury of complacency as it's quite easy to remain in one's comfort zone. It should be an educative read. Thanks for the review.

I wasn't expecting this book to be a book on poems judging by its cover. I really like the title "Tomorrow Mourning." Congrats on BOTD!

Poems that challenges you to move from your comfort zone are great. It's been long since I read poems but his seem to be nice. Thanks for the review.

A comfort zone or fear of the unknown could mean your downfall. I wonder how many people really get to understand these words and apply the actions to grow themselves. Great book. Congrats to the author.

This seems like a dynamic commentary on life with its broad coverage of the important personal stuff such as emotions and relationships. The sage advice on making the most of your youth reminds me of an oft-stated observation, youth is wasted on the young.
