    About this ebook

    A short poetry collection that incorporates an insight into the modern world while using the literary style of classics that have used creative and imposing usage of symbolism, personification, and analogies. The poems in this book explore the various aspects of human emotion, life as perceived by different points of views, and humanity itself. Along with those are arbitrary poems that hold great meaning and entire stories behind them and are somehow connected, along with hints about the author's own persona and life left to be analyzed by the readers.

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      My name-Nadia

      When I think of my name, I think of soft creamy colour and dew.

      I think of pearls and white roses too.

                        Love, hope and peace signs

                        Also come to my mind,

      For my name does mean hope,

      It is true I hardly mope,

      My name is used in African, Arabic, Swahili, English and Russian speaking countries

      I like to save many things, books, jewelry, useless
