    About this ebook

    Poetry once used as an art form to decribe worlds and lands beyond imagination has in later years become diluted. Unscrupulous individuals, who are otherwise useless to the world have sullied it and used it to describe their feeble lives and their worthless conditions. It is because of this that people are now relunctant to read poetry because of these heathens, thinking it to be the wild rants of some dispossesed moron. Well the collection that is here written seeks to remedy that. I have pioneered the genre of FANTASY POETRY that seeks to return poetry as it was in the days when the imagination ran free and was untainted by the outside world.

    Author

    Keili Branche

    I am a young poet and philosopher from the city of Pittsburgh. I enjoy outings with friends, books with an existential basis, movies, especially documentaries, YouTube and Facebook, and of course, the ancient art of staring into people's faces in the hopes of discerning their thoughts. This is the first part of a collection of poems I compiled from ages 16-18. My poems are fantastical in nature, because I grew tired of the fact that people use the solemn art of poetry only in describing how miserable their lives are. I wrote these in the hopes of aiding poetry in reclaiming its former glory. As a tool for breaking the limits of human imagination!
