The Plot

This book contains a series of poems related by their main ideas and topics. The main ideas of these poems are friendship, failure, and other events in life, or as the author refers to it, the different shades of life. They mainly reflect on these topics in a deeper form, they require you to think about life at a deeper sense of thinking. This leaves the reader with a feeling of content and a deeper understanding of life.

My Review

I thought that the poems were nice to read, flowed nicely,and made you think in a spiritual sort of way.It had no confusing or inappropriate content( it isn't confusing as long as you take the time to really read it and think about it), and left you feeling content. The poem flowed nicely and wasn't choppy. It made it easier to read.

This book of poems made you reflect and think about your life or life itself in a very deep and spiritual way. This made you feel content when you finish. The book also didn't have any inappropriate content . It also wasn't confusing as long as you gave the poems some thought.

I also liked the fact that they were short, sweet, and to the point, but left you to think on a deep level. I also liked how the poems were very vivid with detail, even though they were very short. They also varied in their level of deepness, some at the surface of deep thinking and understanding, while others were at the very center, and some in between. I would recommend this book of poems to anyone who wants good poems to read, want to better understand life or feelings, reflect on life, Have a deeper meaning on life, want to read really good poems, or just want to read something worthwhile.

Overall, I give the book a four out of four stars.

I read the free sample titled FYI. It was as the reviewer said short but leave you in a deep level. I like this specifically because the way it created impression on my mind the way a negative would for a photo before the digital age. Agree to the four out of five

Though I don't read much of poetry, the description of the poems sound interesting to me. I think I'll go for it. Thanks for the review.
