Remember way back when? How we used to sit on the porch and tell stories? Well, we had poetry recited also. "Wisdoms from Big Momma's Porch, Volume II" is a collection of poetry. Tammy talks about nature, relationships, those other folks, focuses on goals and even gets personal with her poems. She uses such words as hyping and raining icicles. When you finish reading one poem, it's only natural that you will want to read the next, and the next, and the next until you are finished. Tammy gets creative as she remembers way back when.
