    About this ebook

    "Life is about choices." This is a saying that almost all of us have heard and debate whether it is right or wrong. I am not a greengrocer. That's why I sold my book like selling watermelons: "Come sister, come, choice watermelon!" Do choose!"  I can't sell it just because.  As a requirement of this promise and situation, I wanted to collect the poems I chose from what I had written for more than two years in a book, and thus I took my first step into my adventure of writing a book, being an author or being a poet - whatever it is.  This is how the name "Select" emerged.  So why did I tell you this?  Believe me, I don't know either.  Maybe you are curious about his story and I thought it might interest you.  After all, this is my first time writing about a book.

    There is another saying that I love very much: "No matter how much you know, what you say is only as much as the other person can understand." saying. I guess I don't need to talk at length about how difficult a life is. Of course, it would be great if I had companions like you who understand and listen to my situation!

    Then how about choosing book to buy and read, and therefore giving me a chance?

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Your Poetry

      Apr 30, 2021

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.
