Broken Shells of Memories
A magnificent compilation of modern poetry that vividly depicts solitude, desire, and self-discovery…
is a personal exploration into. The human condition
The poems form a chronological storyline of connected events; snapshots of the central character’s experiences and remembrances. The reader is carried through a journey of emotion and introspection. Each poem transitions seamlessly to the next, creating a cohesive narrative that explores the complexities of love, loss, and self-discovery. This collection can be read from start to finish, as a whole, or individual poems can be enjoyed independently. Every poem represents a broken shell or fragment of a memory, which not only provides readers with insight into the protagonist, but also invites them to reflect on their own lives and relationships. With a greater awareness of ourselves we can come to a better understanding as to how and why we relate to the world as we do.
“Under the shadow
of a dead tree
a young pine struggles.”
“I throw things
at you
to keep you
from noticing
the cracks
in my walls.”
“…Clasping the mug
snuggly in both hands
welcoming its warmth
He rested his eyes
and listened through the quiet
It began to mizzle
The sound of droplets
on the corrugated
deck roof
was soothing
Straining his ears
he could hear
raindrops leapfrogging
through the trees
pelting autumn leaves…”
