Sapling' is a beginners guide to modern poetry- poetry that makes sense. "Sapling" is a book for you if you love poetry, or if you 'don't get' poetry.

Some topics of my poems True Stories, The Beauty and Importance of the Natural World, Happiness, Middle School Experience, Young Love and Lust, Rap Lyrics, Religion and Spirituality, Sexuality, Domestic Violence, Miscarriage, Mental Health, Death, Heartbreak and More.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It expressed great amounts of vulnerability with topics that I could relate to. Each poem was explained well and I learned so much about poetry. The exercises were very fun to do and the artwork was so beautiful. I recommend reading this book.
