The Random Ramblings of a Restless Mind
'Even in the thickest of mud you can find a beautiful bloom.' Often find yourself lying awake at night, bothered by your thoughts? Or seeking out inspirational quotes that speak to your soul? The Random Ramblings of a Restless Mind first started out as a means for Adam to collect his thoughts in one place; almost like a diary. Adam never intended to add any poetry onto it's pages, however he naturally found himself turning these observations and thoughts into poems, most of which have resulted in becoming what is referred to as 'shorties.' Quickly it became apparent Adam was in fact putting together a poetry collection, mixed with slightly philosophical and day to day observations. This is what makes 'Ramblings' unique. Random Ramblings also introduces Adam's very own poetry metre, titled the Simplex Metre. 'You struggle because you think. Don't. Just be.'

Honestly, I was surprised at the ‘Ramblings’ in this book! I haven’t read many poetry books so far but so many realizations and thoughts passed through my mind as I read this book.
- Raw emotion: Several Ramblings carried heartbreak, ‘real talk’, hope, and more both in the way they were written and their subject matter.
- Style: I like how some of the Ramblings sounded a bit like lyrics to songs, older poetry (i.e. Robert Frost and the classics), and personal experiences told creatively to the reader. It was really cool to see how these different styles came together with the Ramblings and book as a whole!
- Subject matter: It’s clear Adam wanted to use this book to get through to the reader on so many things. There’s a diverse cast of subject matter, all of which feels a bit personal to him in some way, but also carries the relatability many people will be drawn to.
I loved being surprised by this book! I also loved enjoyed the unique way of writing he shows!
Next stop: Reading Blue Streak!

I'm out of words how beautifully he writes!
After his very first book, Poetry in Motion, I was sure of never missing on his books. The day to day thoughts, which we usually let go off our mind, have been penned so perfectly by him. One of my favorite books which I can go on reading. Definitely a must have for poetry lovers!!

A wonderful poetry collection. I highly recommend! Perfect for anyone, whether you’re just starting out reading poetry or are more widely read.
