No spelling errors. The words were simple but the way they flowed made them so strong. Form was absolutely beautiful, it really caught my attention and kept me interested.

The theme was absolutely brilliant. The emotional response was very strong. I couldn’t stop reading and finished your collection. The way you use such pointed and poignant words to convey such powerful emotion is just phenomenal.
Review:
Thank you for putting together such a fantastic collection of poems. These haikus are so beautiful, I’m considering using some of them as my personal mantra! You have an excellent way of weaving words together. I couldn’t pick a favourite but I cant wait to read more! I hope you keep writing.

Excellent themes, I love the diversity in your poem collection. I also love the deep stories you tell through your punching descriptions. It’s a very well put together collection of emotion.
Overall review:
The collection you put together is just wonderful. I love the blurb, the title and cover. The story you weave in your stanzas are amazing. The amount of description you can pack into a tiny space is truly amazing. I enjoyed reading each one of your poems. The poem ‘You Never’ really touched my heart and I related to all those sad emotions you expressed in your words. I had to read ‘Echo of the Past’ twice to fully appreciate the story you were telling. What an excellent collection. Very nicely done!
