A great collection, as I call, of common sense poetry, you read each word or each line, reflect on it and I find myself nodding along agreeing, it makes so much sense, someone else gets how it can feel in certain situations.
Poetry about parents and love situations I really related to again agreeing along on how much someone else feels how I too have felt in trying to feel you are enough.
The poem, The most popular guy at the funeral, was easily a favourite and made me reflect on my own relationship and how lucky I feel I have someone now who could reply with 20 things I like as Ariel asks her guy in the poem, but, previously I have been in a relationship to realise they don't actually know me, this isn't love, hard as it was and again the poem following it, Naïve cynic, was similar again to a situation I went through and generally I love a collection like this that is really relatable and being a shorter collection stans out all the more so impact wise.

Black Roses by Ariel Day is a short book filled with easy to read poems. Day writes about life experiences in relatable and engaging language. I really enjoyed the simplicity of many of the poems in Black Roses especially the ones with a twist that exposed an underlying emotional complexity. Day's poems reminded me of past experiences, some that felt more bittersweet even in remembering former pain. Black Roses comforted, inspired, and sometimes surprised me with poems that are short but impactful.

I really liked this book and the pieces of it. They connected me on a deeper level that brought me some kind of serenity and hope for a brighter path.
