"Melancholic and Other Poems" is a powerful debut collection by Nicholas Kyle Edwards that invites readers into a profound exploration of the complexities of mental health, particularly as experienced by adolescents. Through a strikingly unique freestyle form, this collection consists of twelve thought-provoking pieces that delve into themes of despair, vulnerability, and the human condition.

This collection is not just a reflection on pain; it is a journey towards understanding and acceptance. Each piece serves as a mirror, allowing readers to confront their own experiences while finding solace in shared emotion. Whether through poignant imagery or evocative prose, Edwards's work compels us to confront the delicate balance of light and darkness within us all.

Discover the poignant reflections of Aiken Dao in his first poetry collection, "Hey December." This book delves into the depths of memory, homecoming, and the bittersweet passage of time through the lens of the year's final month. Aiken takes readers on a heartfelt journey from the enchantment of childhood Decembers, filled with snow, cherished traditions, and family warmth, to the complex emotions of adulthood, where the simple joys of the past become distant memories.

As life propels him forward, away from the familiar comforts of home in pursuit of dreams and ambitions, Aiken contemplates the essence of home, belonging, and the sacrifices made for a greater purpose. "Hey December" is not just a collection of poems but a reflection on life's fleeting nature, the pursuit of happiness, and the quest for meaning amidst the inevitable changes.

Through his evocative poetry, Aiken explores the significance of the connections we cherish, the concept of home that evolves with us, and the relentless search for fulfilment. Join him on this introspective journey as he seeks to uncover the truths hidden within the days of December, offering readers a glimpse into the profound mysteries of life and the beauty of rediscovering what truly matters.

Introverts are heavy thinkers, and even though they are very silent, they think within themselves about the world they live in. This book is about the problems, issues, and lifestyle introverts may suffer from.

This collection of poems delves into writing, language, and poetry itself. Crafted with the influence of dark and starry-eyed poets alike, the poems explore the search for refuge and solace through written word, the joys and despair of writing and reading, and the struggle between knowledge and isolation. With a refine, introspective tone, this collection captures the beauty of the poet's life, where we call upon something inside of us, and beyond us.

This collection centers around love, vulnerability, and the complexity of human emotions. They explore the depths of longing, connection, and healing while also emphasizing the importance of self-worth, communication, and emotional honesty in relationships. The common thread through them is the balance between desire and self-preservation, the need to love deeply while also protecting oneself from hurt.Through pleas for honesty, spaces for healing, and an exploration of unspoken feelings, my work portrays a journey of learning to love again, learning to communicate openly, and discovering the unwavering resilience of the human heart.

This poem explores the beauty of tic tac toe in a poetic expression.

Drowned Words: A Collection of Poems

This collection of poems delves into themes of longing, loss, and self-discovery, set against the backdrop of fleeting moments and the vastness of life. The poems explore the search for meaning, the weight of societal expectations, and the struggle between freedom and constraint. With a dark, introspective tone, they capture the beauty and despair of navigating a world where time slips away, leaving behind a lingering sense of yearning and reflection.

Nightfall Poets Society of Blackthorn Academy

In the shadowy halls of Blackthorn Academy, a hidden study beckons five misfit poets into its gothic embrace. By candlelight, they summon the spirits of literary legends-Poe, Plath, Shelley, Rilke, and Rimbaud-to unravel the mysteries of creation and despair. But when an unholy force emerges from their words, the group must confront their darkest fears and harness their collective power to banish it.

Equal parts eerie and enchanting, Nightfall Poets Society of Blackthorn Academy is a haunting tale of the transformative magic of words and the razor-thin line between creation and destruction. Perfect for lovers of gothic literature, chilling themes, and the timeless power of poetry.

This collection delves into the powerful emotions that shape our lives-love, loss, and the strength to rise above. Through vivid imagery, the poems explore the enduring bonds of affection, the resilience born from hardship, the melancholy of minds, and the personal growth that comes from embracing both light and shadow. With themes of empowerment, self-love, and connection, the poems invite readers into a world where devotion stands against the tide of adversity, where the heart learns to heal and transform, and where love is both a refuge and a force of change.

The collection's themes center on existential struggle, isolation, and the search for meaning in a world that feels both oppressive and indifferent. The poems explore the tension between inner conflict and outward expression, where the act of writing, reflection, and connecting with nature serves as both a sanctuary and a reminder of deeper emotional turmoil. There is a desperate yearning for freedom, whether through self-expression, the fleeting beauty of nature, or the longing for connection, yet this is often tempered by a pervasive sense of inescapable isolation and self-doubt.

The struggle with identity, self-sacrifice, and personal suffering runs through the poems, creating a haunting, introspective atmosphere. The collection as a whole conveys a dark, reflective tone, where moments of fleeting clarity or beauty are overshadowed by an undercurrent of loss, sacrifice, and an existential yearning.

Just my imagination.
