I appreciate the originality in the title. It fits the theme of your poems too. As for the cover, I'm not a designer or an artist, but I can also see how it reflects the theme of your poems. It's not something I'd call beautiful, but I love what it represents anyway. Your poems are like the title of your book: unique. I don't think I've seen another poet on Wattpad represent their ideas the way you have. Sure, the words you use are common, but with the way you strung them together, each one packs a punch. If it weren't for off-putting line breaks and lines that seemed too wordy, your poems would've had perfect rhythm. Regardless, I connected with each and every poem. Their raw message reminded me of how gray the world really is.

Your title is unique, truly. Though your poems are essentially random thoughts, you don't title the collection something generic, like many I've seen. The cover is also good, just a tad too simple. I believe you can do better, especially with your font. You use a conversational approach to writing your poems. Few poets use this, and only a handful use it well. You're one of them. Thank you for that. Your diction is potent too. I could picture everything you mentioned clearly. Your rhymes weren't forced, so your poems were easy to read and enjoy. I also applaud the different themes you explored. I connected with each and every way they were represented.

I have nothing against this collection! Nothing, in particular, stands out, but everything blends together to make it perfect. The title and cover are normal but fitting. I love the rhythm and language of "Margins Of The Page" best, even though every other poem wowed me with the same elements. There's flow, strong imagery, and diction I haven't seen in poetry anywhere on Wattpad—and I've seen a lot. The poems in this collection don't revolve around one theme, but every poem highlights its own. I enjoyed that. I also fancy your creative use of punctuations in free verse. It's a perfect guide for beginner readers in poetry. Keep writing.
