Really nice cover and blurb to take the reader into the nice world created by the author. Poems were neatly split into three themes separated by the dominant emotion, character or theme. This was unique and hasn't been seen too often. The pictures selected carefully added to the overall experience and must compliment the author for the same.

The poet has not used any specific rhyme scheme in her works (and also mentioned that these are her thoughts). The free verses have managed to capture multiple emotions. The central themes in each section have been covered with great care and it was a wonderful collection to read and ponder. Use of few poetic techniques is recommended as it will add to the impact. Overall, it was a fascinating and enjoyable read. Great job author!

A brilliant cover. The author's name (or pen name) has a poetic fragrance and the cover made it so nice to enter her world. Each of the eleven poems carried one theme linked with 'Connection' and poet has managed to use her own experience to carve really relatable poems. The poet has not used specific poetic techniques or rhyme schemes and yet manages to capture the essence of each emotion. Inferno and Rain filled would probably make into most poetry collections for the audacity of emotions they carry. The poems are nice to read aloud and feel like a conversation or a dialogue which very few poems can take credit for. The use of elements as analogies was a welcome change.

Very minor punctuation errors, nothing which little grammar cannot help with. All the eleven poems were very well thought and written. The writer is urged to consider adding the sense of smell and taste in her writing to make it a fuller experience.

A collection of sonnets around the poet's life experiences. The baseline emotion I of sorrow and denial. The thing that stares at the reader is the close relation with memories, probably of the author's own. But, the baseline premise, though felt sad, left a very interesting bit of hope at the end of each poem. Sonnet 5 would find place in most of the collections for its elegance and clarity of conflicting emotions. The poems linger in the mind long after they are read and there in become very personal experiences. The poet is urged to expand into other genres and poetry forms. The collection had only six verses and each made beautiful. It was a pleasant read full of memorable waypoints to return to. Thank you.

The collection is bilingual, hindi poems (nazm) with English translation. The review is purely on the hindi poems. The author has attempted to weave emotions of everyday life, relationships, friends, family. The range of topics covered gives us a glimpse into poet's understanding of wide array of emotions that have been effectively captured. Poet is urged to write these poems in hindi and publish as a hindi collection as beauty of some words is lost in the English-hindi typing. There are some brilliant lines that stay long after the poem ends. Zindagi as a verse deserves a special mention for the way it has captured the essence of life. This really felt like a conversation and a fantastic read.

A very special collection with varying themes in each poem. The poet has conveyed very relatable concerns that most readers would be able to relate to. The collection feels special as it generates very intense emotions even in a casual read. Minor grammar and punctuation issues aside, the collection was a thoroughly enjoyable read. I just want to highlight that there is a solution to every problem. The verse. "The Phoenix" should undoubtedly find a place in most collections for its uniqueness. Please keep writing and helping the community.

The theme of poems in this wonderful collection is versatile covert love, coming of age, death, corruption, prejudice, identity, nature and beauty. The poems convey a deep sense of emotion through poet's rendition of imaginary worlds and reader is taken on a journey through sorrow and joy through relatable words and verse. The poems hit hard on real world issues and 'Scars' is one verse that would linger in the minds of all readers long after they have read it. It was an 'outwardly' collection, both thematically and literally. Vey minor grammar errors aside, it was a brilliant read all the way.

A collection of poems on varied subjects like Heartbreak, fear, motherhood, love and affection. Very beautifully crafted word play and use of metaphors embedded in free verse. The verse 'Without you' should undoubtedly find a place in most collections and conveys a deep sense of emotion. A very minor point regarding use of small caps which is easily correctable. The poems linger long after the read and feel like a conversation when read aloud. A fantastic collection, thoroughly enjoyable and deserves a lot more attention and reads. I hope it gets that soon.

A thoughtful collection of free verse written on range of topics from self-love to escape based on poet's own experience. The poems are relatable and trigger emotional response. The author may attempt to involve all five senses and take care of little grammar errors. The poems were unique in terms of language where the poet has avoided use of complex vocabulary and yet manages to convey deep meaning. Each poem resonated with some or the other experience. "It's Ok to Not Be Okay' is one verse that is highly recommended to be read for its deep meaning especially in conflicting emotions of today's world.

The title is short yet simple, and it does suit your works after reading them. Unfortunately, it's pretty generic on Wattpad since there are multiple books with the similar title as yours. I suggest getting a title that seems unique only for your book so that it will be able to stand out more next time.Make sure that it fully represents your genre too. However, if you still want to maintain the current title, I don't mind.

Next, in terms of grammar and vocabulary, Icould see that you have a small issue with them. One of the examples isunnecessary commas in punctuation. Sometimes, you slip up in tenses too. If youpick past tense from the beginning, stick to it till the end unless necessarychanges. Besides that, your poems are relatable mostly. This is good sincereaders can get the connection, and engage more with your book. I could saythat I got hooked while reading it. The messages can clearly be seen too. Theemotions could be felt. You have done a good job for this. Well done, dearauthor!

The title does suit your works and also thegenre. However, there are tons of books with the exact title as yours onWattpad. I even read a poetry book titled, 'Memories' a few months ago. If youtruly believe that the current one is the best one for your book, I don't mind.However, if you want to change the title, try to create a title that seemsunique only to your book. Next is about the blurb. It actually caught myattention. I can see your point, and I concur with that. When it comes topoetry writing, poets tend to write everything in their mind and it continues.It's still okay if we don't use rare or exquisite words in writing poems. Whatmatters more is the message and also the emotion in poems.

Your poems are nicely written. You know how to use poetic devices such as anaphora in your writing, and most of the poems are free verse too. The messages that you want to deliver in the poems are delivered evenly. I could get the ideas, and they're relatable, something that I could connect personally. Besides that, I have detected several grammatical and punctuation errors in your works. This matter is normal since we can't expect everything to be perfect. However, we can always proofread or edit our works next time. This is to reduce the number of errors in them. As for vocabulary, I suggest using synonyms for certain words to create a variety of words. The main reason is to avoid repetition in writing. Thus, never give up, and I wish the best for you, dear author!

The cover is actually neat but still pretty. However, I'm quite unsatisfied with the fonts. Try to make the book title at the cover to be the spotlight, which means it should be the largest font. Thus, I suggest getting a new book cover that suits your genre more. I'm actually still wondering about Yvette and Ufitinema. Are they the same person as you? If that's the truth, try not to separate the first and the second name from one another or else readers might get confused after taking a look at the cover. There are lots of graphic shops on Wattpad that can help you to get a better looking cover.

Even though you use simple English in your poetry writing, the messages are still delivered smoothly. I did have a good reading experience with your book. If you want to strengthen your vocabulary, you could always try including advanced words or even synonyms to produce a variety of words in your writing. This can avoid repetition from happening. Besides that, your poems aren't bad. They just need some editing, especially in terms of grammar and punctuation. This is actually normal since most people are struggling with it. As a result, I suggest proofreading and editing your works. Then, your book will be good to go on its own. I hope the best for you, dear author!

After reading the first poem of your book, the connection between the book title and your works definitely could be seen. The book cover is also pretty, but I advise making the book title to stand out more. Try to experiment with the fonts. Then, you should choose the one that suits your cover more. This might help to attract the right audience into your book next time.

I love the book theme too since readers couldlearn something valuable after reading your poems. You also managed to craftyour ideas cleverly. This could act as a hook to lure in readers. Honestly, Iwas genuinely struggling to spot errors in your works. Your poems arebeautifully written, and I would love to reread them next time. Anyway, it wasa good journey in reading your book. Well done, dear author!

Your title is unique! No other books with the same title as yours on Wattpad so far. Plus, I could see how it fits your works and also the genre. I can't say much since you're creative enough to come up with such a title and the value of originality is present too. Besides that, the cover is neat and pretty too. Whoever has designed the cover has done a good job. Well done!

When it comes to your works, I can't emphasiseenough how much I love them. I stan the way you twist around with words. Thepresence of poetic devices such as metaphors makes your masterpiece stand outmore too. You have impressed me with your poetic works. Next, there are stillgrammatical and punctuation errors in your works, but they aren't many. Asusual, you can always polish your works to increase the cleanliness in terms ofgrammar and punctuation. Overall, you have done a good job especially in yourpoetry writing.

The title is simple but easy to remember. However, I feel like it's not strong enough to represent the poetry genre. Perhaps, 'Concealed Words' might work better. Plus, there are quite a lot of Wattpad books with the same title as yours. If you truly believe that the current title is the best one for your book, carry on. However, if you feel like you want to change the title, try to come up with a title that really represents your works and the genre to make the connection to be seen clearer. Never is the book cover. Honestly, I love the chosen image. It's beautiful in my opinion. However, I'm quite unsatisfied with the fonts. They aren't clearly readable. Thus, I suggest experimenting with different types of fonts and also their order at the cover so that you will be able to pick the best one.

Most of your poems are relatable. I love themand I could see the connection between them and my personal life. Besides that,I also got hooked from the first poem. The messages could be comprehendednicely too. Not to forget that you know how to apply poetic devices in poetrywriting too. As usual, I suggest using more advanced words, synonyms and alsodiction so that your poems will sound more interesting. This might help yourreaders to engross more with your works too. Editing your works should be done tooto ensure the cleanliness of grammar, punctuation and spelling. I wish you thebest and never give up, dear author!

The cover is stunning, and I personally like it. However, the font on top of the cover is a bit invisible. Thus, I suggest enlarging it a bit so that it will be easier for readers to read it next time. Initially, I didn't know who Gabbie Hanna was. Lots of wild assumptions about this fellow came across my mind the moment I read it. I could say that I got to know her better because of your book, so thank you so much for it. Next is about the poems. Her poems are great, but your remake poems are also great! I truly love your way of coming up with something different from her poems, but the meaning is still there.This shows that you're innovative enough to come up with something unique. Keep up the good job, dear author!

Your works have lovely metaphors and imagerywhich are something that I appreciate a lot. I could imagine them vividly in mymind. Besides that, I did find some grammatical and punctuation errors in yourpoems, so I suggest proofreading them next time. Overall, it was enjoyablereading and also reviewing your book. After polishing some parts of your book,your book is ready to go. Good luck, dear author!

After reading your book title once, I could guess that the genre is under poetry. It's pretty obvious, but the title isn't that generic on Wattpad. Besides that, it's simple yet easy to remember which is not a bad thing. Next is about the book cover. I genuinely like it, and it really represents your genre excellently. However, my only complaint here is your Wattpad username at the bottom of the cover. I suggest making it appear more visible so that readers will be able to see and read it properly at first glance next time. Other than that, everything is absolutely fine.

You have put a sentence in the blurb, but I feel like it's lacking something. I advise giving some explanations about the title in the blurb. The main purpose is to provide readers some idea of what they're going to read in your book. This might help readers to engage more with the book. Besides that, I still could find some grammatical and punctuation errors throughout some of your poems. They aren't obvious. However, as usual, I still recommend editing your works next time.

Some lovely comparisons in your poems could bespotted. This shows that you know how to apply poetic devices in your poetrywriting. Readers could also comprehend the hidden messages behind your workstoo. I can say that you're on the right track which is good news. Just nevergive up whenever you can't achieve anything that you want. Good luck, dearauthor!

I'm happy to know that your book pops up as the first book whenever I type it in the search bar. What I mean here is the book title. There is a sense of originality for the title. Next is the blurb. It's not bad, but I encourage explaining a bit deeper about the book title in the blurb. This could help your readers to get some ideas of what they're going to read in your book. Besides that, I love how most of your poems rhyme. You know how to play along with the words to make your poems sound more interesting.

You have a bit of issues with grammar andpunctuation in your poetry writing. I have found several errors here andthere, but you don't have to worry. This is normal since most people experiencethe same thing including me sometimes. All that you have to do is proofread oredit your works next time to minimise the number of errors. Apart from that,the way you form your thoughts and ideas into words is quite impressive. Themessages behind the poems are delivered effectively too. You have done a greatjob for this. Well done!
