I received a copy of This Boy is a Rainbow from Sam Payne in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

There are a variety of long and short poems in this collection. They are beautifully written and in a style that is easy to read and understand.

I found that the poems are very relatable. I feel as some of the poems were meant for me. They made me think about my life and everything in it. The topics explored in the collection deal with love, heartbreak, betrayal, and empowerment.

Sam uses a lot of emotion in his poems. They are powerful and at times bitter. His emotion made me enjoy this collection so much.

This Boy is a Rainbow is a beautiful and original poetry collection. It tackles the emotions behind love and heartbreak. As well as, the emotions behind betrayal by someone you love and empowering yourself from it. This is a great collection for anyone going through any of these topics. I can’t wait to read more by Sam.
