Emotions in Existence

Were you forced to endure poetry, told there must be rhyme, that there were rules and regulations to the form? Do you recall struggling to gauge out secret meanings behind every word? Existence takes up the emotional tale from Eruptions and Evolution.The truth is that poetry can mean different things to different people. Poetry is the freedom to connect with words in a way that is meaningful to the individual. Therefore, the poet has a right to put words together in a way that is individual to them. Together secrets are unleashed and shared and put into perspective.Emotions in Existence is about consolidating that freedom through free verse, sonnets (one to Shakespeare himself thanking him for his interesting input to the English language) and the more disciplined Japanese forms including haiku, tanka and the haibun.
