Review of Temperature of Art


Fantastic Poetry!





This book, by T. Ponder contains a beautiful collection of poems. They are short, but they convey the writer's passion for life. I must admit one of the poems I didn't like, but just because I didn't, it doesn't mean you won't. The overall collection of poetry was superb. I laughed at one in particular. I won't say too much because it woyld be a spoiler alert. All I will say it has a surprise within it. Here's one of the poems from this interesting book:

Poem; "Wonder Woman"

All of a sudden you're bleak
I wonder what made you change
The qualities I used to see
In you still remain
Seems genuineness is detained
I wonder what made you change
Stress, makeup, or confidence
Looks aren't everything
Although you have them
Personality is key, you got it
Confident, less makeup, no stress
Small measures with no progress
Life is like a quest
Woman I wonder where we could go

There's a couple of short stories near the end of the book. One of which is about the author. They were pretty good, but not necessarily my cup of tea. However, this doesn't mean other people won't like it. By the way, Mr. Ponder has persevered through tough times in his life, such as the lost of is mom to cancer. To quote from his bio: "T. Ponder writes to touch readers through realism, insight, and humor. Covering topics such as: love, depression, achievement, and life experience." He's certainly an indie author who's on the rise! Overall I'd say this book is a must read.
