First Place: Poetry ~Writer's Book Awards Third Place: Poetry ~Rose Book Awards Best Story Quote: 1st Runner-Up ~House of Cards/Clubs Poetry, to me, is the release of pent up emotions, bottled up feelings, unspoken words and unvoiced thoughts on paper. Poetry is art. This is a collection of slightly unrelated poems and a few quotes written entirely by myself for my inner peace and your entertainment.

Poems are an expression in words of the beauty seen in the things around you. Many a time these words do not entirely encapsulate what you mean or feel but merely are a fragment of the beauty it beholds, whatsoever it may be. This written word is to be looked upon with an open mind, understanding each word and visualise as you go. But these are stories that capture the heart. Vote and Comment your honest thoughts on them. Highly appreciated! 🥈~ in spoken word {11/04/20} 8th ~ in poetry {04/02/22}
