Opinionated, Quizzical We Need to Talk

By Tonya Drummond

Greetings my name is Tonya Drummond
I’m a wife, a mother of 1 daughter and 3 sons.
I have other books I have written and been published. I was inspired to write this poetry book because so many adults as well as teenagers express how they feel in songs or on talk shows. I felt I can convey they topics through poetry. Although I hear, feel and agree to disagree at time.
I still Love people therefore,
Dream to live
For living is your dream that’s my forté

Tonya Drummond

My name is Tonya Drummond. I was raised in Brooklyn, New York, to the late Haygood Reed and Patricia Ann Drummond, whom I love both daily and miss sincerely. To my brothers and sister, Roosevelt, Anthony, Samuel, Dwayne, Corey, and Rita my sister. My husband, Randolph, and Rodney Greene, who helped in our upbringing. As well as my children, Nefertiti, Quamel, Kyleek, and Kyle Anthony. I was inspired to write this book because of my mother, Mrs. Patricia Drummond, who said she would no longer be around for me to cry on her shoulder about medicine being prescribed. But she will be with me in spirit. So, America, I would like to dedicate this book to my mother, Mrs. Patricia Drummond, and my grandmother Fannie Mae Drummond by saying what they taught me, and that is “I refuse to rob Peter to pay Paul because honesty is the best policy.” I'm going to continue to live, for living is my dream.

Sometimes Bullies make you sad

But remember to be glad

Neighbor

Do you know how to treat your neighbors

Will start by looking in the mirror Can you look into that mirror

With a smile or is it with fear

Does your eyes flutter with so much tears

Or maybe you left your neighbor with a smile

If that is true

You will be bless after awhile

Everyday think about the things you do

because your neighbor might be

Just like you

Crazy Love

But I love him,

That’s what she always say

Yet she manipulative, untrustworthy

deceitful and treat him cruel in every way.

Does She Know the meaning of Love

Like caring, honesty, and Loyalty,

Just to name a few

Yes her words sharp like a knife

It cuts like an apple split into two No matter

what, She just says But I Love him

And she doesn’t care what nobody says.

Then one day she shot him, his body cold

not Dead.

Yes I love him, that’s what she began to say

And nobody should have paid attention

to what we had

It was just him, my crazy love, and the

raising up of my mom and Dad

So why didn’t he leave

that’s what we all had said

nobody
