Jayne, a native Southerner who currently lives in South Carolina, contacted me personally and asked if I would be interested in reviewing her newest book.
I have to admit that when she told me it was poetry, I took a step back. I am not a poetry lover. Truth be told I tend to run from it.
But Jayne sent me an example or two. It was different so I said I'd give it a go.
Well, to my deepest surprised, I loved the book! The poetry is "real life". Let me tell you, any poem that uses the words "Feeble-brained Jerk" to describe a cheating husband... well that wins me right over!
Below is an example of one of Jayne's poems. Funnier than heck to me because it's so very relatable in regards to my life.
The Ex-Terminator
I Know
that every time I am lazy
and leave dishes in the sink until morning
those virulent roaches call the hot line and have a
house party.
But life is like that, I guess.
Let things slide while you take a
quickbreath
and before you know it,
people are crawling all over you -
needing this, wanting that,
advising this, demanding that.
What I need is a giant can of Raid
to get everyone off my back
and back into their drainpipes.
I say grab a copy of this book right now - I'm so glad I have one!

**Please note, thru a snafu with the publicity, if you go to order it online, the description of the book is for the wrong book. Jayne is working on getting this fixed. The title will be correct and you will receive the proper book.
