A Beautiful Composition of Broken by r.h. Sin
2.0
well, this book was definitely something. I personally do not enjoy modern poetry, by modern poetry I mean 'Instagram poetry' because...
this does
not
suddenly turn a
random sentence
into
poetry.
and I still stand by it after reading this collection. it lacks depth and meaning in most of the poems, these 480 pages could have been easily shrunk down to a >200 paged collection and still have not closed a single part of the theme or the meaning the writer was trying to go for.
there is so much beautiful and detailed, wonderful poem collection and books out there I would recommend than this book. the themes were generic and uncreative too, breakups, love, sex, healing. it was as if the writer took some self-help affirmations and quotes and just hit the 'enter' button a few aggreseive times to create the line breaks.
this is not good poetry, in fact, in my opinion, this was more like an unfinished draft...or someone's iPhone notes filled with thoughts and random inspirations, works in progress, etc. it was lacking some real editing for some of the poems. I did enjoy 10-20 poems though, the ones that are very obvious to you that they have been edited or at least, proofread. at the end of the day, for a casual and short collection of quotes and shower thoughts, go for it! if you want something deeper or a poetry collection with a clearer idea and more gems than this, try something like date & time by Phil Kaye, or night sky with exit wounds by ocean voung. they are so magical and unique and such a treasure.
