Forays Into a Nincompoop's Head

By Tanishq Bhardwaj

All poems are different, as all people are different. This collection of poems will take you on a small adventure with prisoners and princes, bards and beauty, knights and kings and anything random under the sun. While the poems may not be refined or proper they are genuine, and that genuine emotion is all that a poet can promise to the reader. The poems are not meant for a specific target audience instead almost anyone can empathize with at least one or more characters. Each poem charts a separate story, each story a separate emotion.
