𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘮𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴 -- 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘢. 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦, 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘢. This is my first organized collection of poetry which I have written, one I procrastinated on for long enough, but here we are. Can't let perfectionism hold me back forever, can I? Hi, I'm Meadow, and I write poetry for a hobby. For the most part, I have done so to help express and release some of my emotions. In here, you will find plenty of romantic themes, particularly unrequited love, with the occasional self-doubt, existential thought, flash of hope, flight of imagination, and a few metaphors that extend throughout multiple poems. I write poetry mainly because of three people. They all have, to a bigger or smaller extent, poetry dedicated to them in this collection. One of them is the first person to ever compliment my poetry writing and gave me the confidence to become an artist; one is a person I can't seem to stop having feelings for; one sparked my most productive writing period so far. They could be called the three Muses of this collection (although one other person also has their dedicated chapter). The collection contains poetry I wrote from 2019 to 2022. The poems are divided thematically into six chapters, with a prequel as well as a final chapter serving as a short intro & outro. The prequel contains the first poem I have written in English - I will leave you to discover the rest. With this lengthy introduction out of the way, thanks for checking this collection out, and I hope you enjoy reading it!

AMBY AWARDS TOP PICK 2023 ❤️ "You think I can't act like I'm into you?" He asks in a whisper. He reaches out, and strokes a finger down my cheek, and I feel myself shiver at the touch. "You think I can't convince everyone that I have feelings for you?" His eyes are darker than ever, and any sign of a smile has now vanished. The only word I can think right now to describe him is "smouldering". I have searched many great romance novels (and even more sub-standard ones), and I am yet to find a better synonym for that particular word. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigail Watson has always played by the rules. She also constantly strives to be the best at everything she does. So when her boyfriend Declan decides to turn their temporary break into a permanent break-up, she starts to seriously doubt her girlfriend skills. Her new flatmate Ric tells Abby she's not the problem, but how can she believe *him* when he's one of the most annoying guys she's ever encountered? However, when she needs a fake boyfriend to save face in front of Declan, Ric might just be the only man she can turn to . . . Practice Makes Perfect offers you some forced proximity, enemies to lovers, a dash of fake dating, pub quizzes, flatmate frustrations . . . And - of course - an annoying ex, because doesn't everyone have at least one of those??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cover by @LNRoberts1 ❤️

How young is too young to be crowned a King? When sixteen-year-old Tybalt is burdened by kingship while still a child, he must convince his subjects that he's strong enough to wear the crown or risk the whole town of Nevergolden, demanding his blood. His friends struggle to accept him in his new role. His subjects do not want him as their leader. He's just too young in their eyes. With his sister forced to marry a teenage Lord from another town who she hates, will Tybalt cope with the struggles of Kingship or will the weight of the crown be too heavy to carry?
