Poise on The Verge of Insanity

Brief Introduction

Introduction:

This is my first ever poetry collection and my first ever release to Watt pad so I hope I don’t receive overwhelmingly harsh criticism. It comprises seven of my most strongly tied works. The first poem in this collection is “The Roaring Warden”, an early poem I wrote that revolves around a dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship. The second is “27th and Crimson Avenue”, a recent poem I wrote inspired by S.E. Hinton’s ‘The Outsiders’ which analyzes how similar a gang fight is to a war and further emphasizes some anti-war themes. The third is “Me and Paulie Dine”, another recent poem which briefly looks into the effect of childhood idols on the human identity. The fourth is “At the Arch of Perdition”, which sees a socialite marriage through the eyes of a servant, though with possibly exaggerated aspects. The fifth is “The Peal of Joy-Skinned Lullaby”, not my most recent work but undoubtedly the poem I’ve put a lot of effort into. It uses a lot of dark imagery which is only metaphorical on a few opening occasions and greatly highlights regret and reason. The sixth, my longest poem “The Perfect Life”, is a three-part saga that tells the tale of a once fiery relationship gone awry. And last but not least, the seventh is “You Shall Be Attended to in an Eternity” which compares indirect laziness to waiting in an absent doctor’s clinic. I hope you fill me in on whatever you feel like saying in the comment section or if it’s more personal you can send me a private message.
