“ I mostly write from personal experience, but hopefully, in a way that anyone can relate to. I think we all experience many of the same things in life, but we all have unique ways of expressing them. Poetry is what works for me. Really, poetry is just one human being trying to communicate with another—I observed or experienced something and I want to tell you about it.”

Other Poems by Frank C. Praeger:
I have a philosophical mind and a poetic heart, am 20 years old and working towards my associate degree in communications. For as long as I can remember I have had an overwhelming passion for writing-and later on-writing poetry, which I started developing a passion for around the age of 13. I have always been very fond of traditional sonnet and rhyme poetry, such as that of Shakespeare, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Sylvia Plath, William Wordsworth, Alexander Pope, along with many others. I love the rawness of the truth these writers seek to speak because it is the same truth I seek in present day humanity.
