Black Roses by Ariel Day

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 dont actually know me, this isn't love, hard as it was and again the poem following it, Naive 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.
