Thoughts in Water, Feelings on Sand

by Madelyn Fischer

Thoughts in Water, Feelings on Sand is dedicated to the ones who feel things as deep as the ocean and think deeply about life. There’s something inside for everyone and poems that anyone can relate to, whether it be about love, life, depression, abuse, happiness, and all the things we may go through and experience in life. I hope as you read these poems you feel less alone and can gain the courage to be unapologetically you and feel intensely with no shame or fear.

This book is well though. Each one tells a story, which I thought was cool and unique. I enjoyed it.

Lovely

Madelyn Fischer looks into the human soul to find the emotions that they deal with on a day to day basis. She touches on each with grace and style but lets us interpret them as we wish.
I particularly enjoyed three of her poems "Cloudless Pain" which seemed to be about the chaos that can often be found in our minds as we go about our day.
"Equality" which I liked is about the differences of the human race or so it seemed to me but not just skin color but differences in thought.
The last that I found tugged at my heart was "Strength" it seemed to me that it was about helping each out even through our on disability.
Now my views on these poems are mine. You can read them and form your own and I hope you do. I think this young lady is an excellent poet who has a ok of more to give.

"I floated from 'hi' and drowned from 'bye'."

Poetry is so beautiful and widely unique because it feels like tiny clippings of the poet's soul. Thoughts in Water, Feelings on Sand is a collection of short and direct poems with piercing undertones. The poems are lyrical and often inspired by nature and imagery of the ocean; exactly what one would expect from the title.

You won't encounter any vulgarity in this collection. There are no curse words or explicitly romantic poems, though that certainly doesn't mean the poems lack emotion or affect the reader. I highlighted many poems that I found so beautiful.

Thoughts in Water, Feelings on Sand is a collection for you if you enjoy modern poems of a few lines or less and occasional storytelling poems. I look forward to future poetry releases from the author!
