    About this ebook

    This book is a collection of my poetry, mostly written when I was 12 years old but some are from now (13 years). For these poems I take inspiration from everyday things, thoughts and emotions. I like to write about unusual topics or just from a different perspective for known things. Ive always wanted to publish a book and tried many times (at writing novels) but failed, due to my lack of patience to write a story. However, slowly, my collection of poetry grew and I realized why not a poetry book.

      Dear Readers,

      Tara here . . . . . Many thanks to all for reading this book. I hope you enjoy it. This book is a collection of my poetry, mostly written when I was 12 years old but some are from now (13 years). For these poems I take inspiration from everyday things, thoughts and emotions. I like to write about unusual topics or just from a different perspective for known things. I’ve always wanted to publish a book and tried many times (at writing novels) but failed, due to my lack of patience to write a story. However, slowly, my collection of poetry grew and I realised why not a poetry book. Apart from writing, I really enjoy listening to music ( Rock, Pop . . . etc.), watching anime, reading books and
