    About this ebook

    La Fleur is a poetry collection about dealing with love and relationships. This book takes the reader into the Authors personal world of heartbreak, pain, love, and triumph. La Fleur takes place at a time in the Authors life where she was transitioning from being a girl to a woman. La Fleur translates to The Flower in English which is very symbolic for the Author for many reasons. First the name Jasmine is a type of flower; and second the Author finds it unique since flowers need two things two grow, the sun and the rain. La Fleur conveys those concepts. All the pain one experiences in a relationship only to later find joy and happiness. I believe the song by Maze and Frankie Beverly, Joy and Pain put it best when it explains that love is filled with joy and pain. All poems are written based off the Authors experiences. The book talks about some of the things the Author experienced such as dealing with men that very disrespectful and degrading to the point where the Author has to decide to love and respect herself before she can expect anyone else to. You will find many poems in this book based off that concept such as the title, Gypsy Lover 1 & 2 which talks about a guy leaving her for someone else and then comparing her to this woman he had left her for, which is something that the Author has experienced many times in her life. The Author believes that after a while when you keep going through things you become experienced and choosing on how you take or deal with the situation you learn from it and move forward. A lot of people think the idea of falling in love is fun and games until they get in deep and realize the work and commitment it takes to put into making a relationship work out if it is meant to be. Its not a self-help or how to book but rather a biography of the hearts experiences.

    Jasmine Lewis

    Jasmine K. Lewis is a writer from the state of Georgia and has traveled around the United States. Writing has been a big part of her life ever since 7th grade. She grew up watching one of my older sisters, Kelli Monique Lewis write stories and poems in her free time and got inspired to started writing her own. The first story she wrote was called, “Vampire in the Night”, a little short story about kids who have an encounter with a vampire after their parents leave the house. Since that time she has written many stories and poems that she have made into collections which she hope the world will read one day. Unfortunately, she don’t remember the first poem she wrote since she started off with writing stories first. Most of her poems and stories are written from experiences. I guess you could say that most of Jasmine’s poems and stories have pieces of her sprinkled on a page in an artistic way. She has come to find that writing to her is an art in which she can express herself freely without boundaries. Writing on several occasions has helped her to relax and get her emotions out and deal with the things she have been feeling. Jasmine is in love with writing and doesn’t think that she could ever be without it. So to those that are writers out there Jasmine’s best advice to you is to keep writing and exploring emotions. Never be afraid to let the world here your story through words. Some day you will capture the world’s attention so never give up.
