Once, Twice, Three Times A Charm: A Collection of Poems by Creg Effs

by Creg M.D. Effs

Once, Twice, Three Times a Charm, A Collection of Poems is my debut anthology, which takes you on a journey through my heart, and each piece will give you an idea of where I was at emotionally as you read them. It's an easy read that is comprised of prose that you may find relatable. How many times have you tried to find true love? Did you find it, and if yes, how long did it take? Some of us find love at first sight, while others go through many relationships before we find that diamond in the rough, which to me is what love is, as you will see when you read my book. On my journey, it took me 3 tries before I found that rare gem, hence the title of my Anthology, "Once, Twice, Three Times a Charm". Thanks for taking the journey with me and I hope you enjoy reading my book.
