Review ~ Ramblings and Reminiscings

Ramblings and Reminiscings by Wanderlust_Lavanya

Reviewer: kailucy

I'm so sorry for the wait!! 

Title: I like the title but I think you meant "reminiscings." Otherwise, I think the title goes perfectly with the collection. It's spelt right on the cover but it's different in the title.

Cover: The cover is beautiful. The font at the bottom and the subtitle are a little hard to read but other than that it's a great cover.

Overall: Overall, I loved this collection of poetry. You have a wonderful way with words and you certainly know how to connect with the reader. I can tell based on the ones I was able to read that you have a great heart and a great talent with words. I loved reading these so much and I will one-hundred percent continue. After I go back and vote (if I didn't already, I forgot)

Individual poems:

Dear Life:

I loved the lessons in this one. You brought out the lessons you've learned so far from the greatest teacher: life.

I loved the points you made.

Live life - queen size

Live life on your own terms

Make yourself a priority

Optimism is key

I particularly liked the fact that you addressed the letter to life itself. Lovely start. I can already tell I will enjoy the rest of your work.

Dear Me, Self love:

Since you asked me to focus on flow. This one could flow better if you replaced "smartness" with "intelligence."

Also "times were tough back then, you (needs another word before "so much" feels like an incomplete thought)

"Self-love is a lifelong process" would flow better"

I love the line "God did his best in making you special and unique - do not destroy his work of art in imitating"

Beautifully written.

To all my friends:

"Long distant friendships are the strongest ones" so true.

This is such a sweet poem.

Setting a boundary: The first two lines are so relatable. This is amazingly written.

To all those feeling lost:

This is so uplifting. Honestly, I really needed to read that. Amazing job writing it!!
