About the author: "Sometimes poetry is hard to put out. I write usually when I have something that creates deep emotions. I like haiku because it's short and I can do it easily with all my emotions. Happy, sad. Wonder of nature. It helps me to see what I might not be seeing around me."

young you looked so cute
_______________
About the author: "My name is Jonathan Kent, 25 ironically also from Kent. I have developed a passion for writing and experimenting with poetry. While, as you can probably tell, I am in my early stages, I still find great pleasure in wrestling with the challenges that poetry offers. I am currently working on writing a novel and will endeavour to write more poetry.
It is important for all artists to gain feedback and helpful criticism to aid their own development; I certainly welcome any comments, tips and suggestions. Thank you."

A hawk circles in silence
