(4) Happy Mother's Day a day to celebrate and remembrance of you
I wrote this Happy Mother's Day poetry book out of love and gratitudes for my mother. I wrote this poetry of gratitudes for all mothers and mother figures in this world to thank their ever-lasting love for their children and love ones. Without complete devotion from parent or parent figure, it is very tough for a child to thrive. I am more than grateful for my mother who always put her children first. I hope this poetry book also represent your thoughts and love for your mother and mother figure. Whoever reading this book, I hope this will bring joy into your heart.

The inseparable two: love and romance.

This was a a nice book of poems. Really thought provoking and calming in a way. “Kindness” was probably my favorite poem in the book.

I didn't much resonate with this style of poetry, and I would have to say that the repetition in style and thoughts from poem to poem made an easy read more difficult for me to get through; I at times felt like I was reading the same thing over and over again.
That being said, there were quite a few lines and sentiments within the longer poems that did resonate with me. This makes me wonder if the poet gave a shorter format style of poetry a try if they would deliver their message with more impact? The emotion feels a bit lost in the wordiness, as well as in the adherence to a consistent style/formatting.
I have highlighted my own favorite quotes and lines that I will update my review to share.

Concept and intent are clearly very positive, but the poetry itself isn't terribly creative or well written. A good proofreader would've been an incredible boon to this book.
The photographs are beautiful.

I received a copy of this ebook in a Goodreads giveaway. All of these poems felt very surface level, like thoughts more than poems and I didn’t feel like they were composed particularly well.
