I got this poetry collection when it was on sale on Kindle. What immediately drew me to the book was the cover. It is such a lovely cover. I had a great experience with this poetry collection, so let me tell you more about it!
The poems are written in free verse which is my favorite style. They are easy to read and flow nicely on the page. My only problem is that the punctuation seemed to be all over the place making for awkward pauses.
This poetry collection will be relatable to you if you’ve experienced: emotional abuse from a parent, child rape, sex, and love. Although, this collection wasn’t the most relatable to me, I feel like it clearly gets through a strong message even for those not affected by these events.
The emotion in this book is spot on. It’s raw. It’s emotional. And it’s heartbreaking. All of these emotions come through in i write no color pictures.
i write no color pictures is a raw and emotional read. It hits on some hard topics in such a meaningful way. Although there was a small problem with punctuation, it was still a very enjoyable poetry collection that I think is relatable for so many.

Great review! Such an intense subject. ❤️ You always introduce intriguing poetry. It’s almost as vast as the book world. Thanks Jenn!
Thanks, Dani! ❤️ There is so many different kinds of poetry out there so it’s great to read such a variety.
This sounds like an intense read. But I am losing faith on free verse poetry after reading a few that didn’t work for me. Anyway I am glad this one works for you!
