I usually enjoy poetry, but this collection seems a bit unusual. I agree with your point that the rhyming pattern shouldn't be forced if the meaning of the words becomes unclear.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts in this review.

May this book help me appreciate reading poems.

Great review!
Yep, if not a fan you probably won't enjoy it. Thanks!

Thank you for your comments!

Thank you so much!
Jagiine wrote: 23 Jun 2021, 16:50 When I write poetry, I almost always feel the need to keep some sort of rhyming scheme and rhythm. It's hard to balance that with finding the right words. Nevertheless, kudos to the author for putting together so many meaningful poems. Thanks for your review!
I always think that it will come naturally; if not why force it? Just write from the soul. Thank you for your words!

Yep, but it will probably appeal mostly to 'hardcore' poetry lovers. Thank you!
Kike17 wrote: 20 Jun 2021, 16:36 Interesting analysis. I don't care much for rhymes as well. I just love to enjoy spontaneous poetry. Great review.
I think we agree. Thank you!
NetMassimo wrote: 20 Jun 2021, 16:05 Poems in a language that's not my primary language can be difficult to appreciate for me, even more when rhymes are forced. Thank you for your informative review!
But still,I think if they speak to one's soul, language won't be a major barrier. Thank you indeed!
