Oh wow, thank you for reviewing a poem, Good review.
I particularly love poems, "Penelopes Purple Passions" is a nice one. Poem about love, life and heartbreak. Am happy for Penelope for getting back on her feet. This poem gives lessons of how we can pull ourselves together after heartbreak.
Is a must read for me.

The book sounds excellent from the review. It seems the book has a rather easy to understand style with relatable poems. However poetry is not my cup of tea, so i will pass on the book. Congrats on BOTD!!

I applaud the poet for her bravery in presenting herself in such a vulnerable way. I’m also intrigued by the idea of a poetry collection outlining a time in the poet’s life. Thank you for the helpful review.

Poetry is a release — a portal into the mind of the poet. I like the theme of this poetry collection. Sometimes all it takes to discover ourselves is being thrown in the gutter. While I wished she had a better experience with love —because love is a beautiful thing — I am glad that her sad experience helped her rethink her life and provided the platform for a great reemergence. We all have to discover ourselves somehow, it's only in doing so we can truly be in control of our lives.


Thanks for the review.

I could read only the sample, so I couldn't come to know much about the book. It was good till the page I was allowed to read. But I couldn't understand better any further. I'm not interested in poems. It's a shame to say that. But what I read in the book was perfect and excellent. Furthermore, the review helped me understand the book much better.

Am not a poetry fun, but this book reminds me of my teenage when I felt so much in love with a girl, I thought we were supposed to be together forever, but I got heartbroken. I didn't wanted to live again until somehow am here today. Good review.

The book creatively uses the life cycle of a butterfly to organize a collection of love poems and self-reflection. Congratulations on Book of the Day!

Congratulations on BOTD! Poems are created to make the readers feel certain emotions, and I love how it stated in the review that the readers is connected in the book. Also, some poems aren't really easily understood as some metaphores are not really connected with each other, but again, the review stated that everyone can easily comprehend the message of the book. The author created a good collection of poem and I'm looking forward in reading them. Thank you for your review.

All the love poetry I have read so far has depicted the poet's heartbreak and nothing else. This one is different in a way that the poet focuses on the positive aspect of the this gloomy reality. She takes it as a sign to grow as a person and achieve serenity.
