I fell in love with reading at an early age. I'm not sure when I first started reading poems but I do know that my love of poetry came later than my love of stories. I can clearly remember the distinct feeling of having stumbled upon a reading experience that was unlike any other I had had up until then.

While reading stories and novels had the ability to transport me into another world and allow me to feel the emotions of the main characters, reading a poem I connected with took me on a journey within myself.

It was like finding a kindred spirit. Someone who, without me having said one word, not only understood but could articulate the thoughts and emotions that I had yet to find words to express.

These are some of my favourites. Follow me in order to share some of yours.

Why are you sad?”
“Because you speak to me in words, and I look at you with feelings.
