Demetrius had a poetry project to turn in for his final grade at school and it wasn’t until the night before the assignment was due that he began to work on it. He informed his mother that he needed a typewriter and at 7pm that Thursday evening Demetrius began his journey. As he put together a book of 25 poems that landed him an A+ the next morning. He found that his words fl owed naturally and has been writing poems ever since. As Demetrius grew older, his skills to bring his poems to life were ever increasing. He has been told “we can see the poem unfolding right in front of our eyes.” Each of his poems, tell a story. Demetrius has recited his poetry to audiences at many Church events as well as Colleges and Special events in Oklahoma. Copies of his poems are requested and then shared by his friends at different events themselves. Now when he reads his poems at the age of 51, copies are always on hand. He has always been told “you need to write a book.” Which brings us to this point. This is his first book of poetry. I hope you enjoy, BOOK OF SAMPLES, short stories, in a poem. And those 25 poems, that started it all, are inside this book. And what makes this book so unique, it took 38 years to write, from the very first poem that he wrote, in the eighth grade, to the very last one that he just finished at the age of 51 is in this book. All of his favorite poems are all together in one book, BOOK OF SAMPLES.view less
