Simple but poignant.

These were ok. Reminded me of end of the year poem book the literature department in my high school put out

[Rosalie (industrialreader) · Rating 2 out of 5]

These poems seemed very similar to Drake's other writing, and while it's good, his poetry has started to not be what I'm looking for when it comes to reading poetry. This collection of poems didn't seem to hold the same power and meaning that his other collections do. 24 hours to write 24 poems makes the poems not as well thought out or don't always have the same feeling behind it.

Fans of the "Instagram Poets" may appreciate Mr. Drake's writing style. My favorite poem in this collection is "The Typo." I especially like this line: "I don't have time to follow the rules." Must be the rebel in me!
