Cynthia,

Not everyone dreams in colour, nor views the world in this way.
For some, the world is simply black and white.
I have chosen 'Unapologetic Poetry' as a title for my book, because there are poems which can take people out of their comfort zone; it challenges undesirable behaviours, attitudes, mentalities, acts of superiority, and preconceptions. These poems rock the boat, but at that the same time it addresses issues that some people still face.
I don't applogise for my poems - it is based on life experiences and the experience of those involved in my life, hence the reason for the title.

Dreaming in colour is a rarity, isn't it? I also dream in colour; no idea why, presuming a perfectly viable, scientific reason. But then, I'm very sensitive to colour in every waking hour, thrillingly so.

I don't know anyone who apologises for their poetry. Why do you call yours 'unapologetic'? The phrase is 'catchingly' alliterative.

Thank you so much Michelle for appreciating my poem.


I read your sample poem " Life is too short" and I must say it's very inspiring.
