This book of poetry will be the second book I created, as a fun, easy to read poems, geared towards the younger generation. As a kid growing up found that writing and journaling was a way for me to escape, and be creative. I remember I used to love to be in my bedroom on certain days when a rainstorm would occur, climb in my bed, and write in a marble notebook. I would journal about my day, and also, write simple fun rhyming style poems. I put all my journaling and writing on hold once I grew into a preteen. I saved all my journals from my childhood and decided to publish the poems for the heck of it. I have found writing to be a form of therapy for me, and enjoy it a great deal.

As a young kid I had a love for writing and soon began to put that love to work by creating children's poetry, which somehow interested me. I remember every day after school, I would come home and head straight to my room and reach for my marble notebook where I would begin a fresh page of poems. The writing was an escape for me during my younger years and I needed an outlet that brought me joy and happiness.
