Trail of Thought: Deep Poems to Ponder On

By Tahir Francis

Broken down into 4 chapters ‘Trail of Thought’ covers what I believe are the 4 pinnacle feelings of a human being. To feel loved, to feel inspired, to feel heartbroken/disappointed and to feel curious. Throughout this book each chapter has its poem related to a feeling to make the readers build a connection and familiarize themselves within the poems.
