"Despite having finally found the meaning of the best of times and the worst, this rabbit hole of words clearly illustrates my inability to grasp which is which, and when."

This is a collection of 75 picturesque poems laced with art and poetic prose, each a glimpse of a scene to a much larger painting. A tall tale told in verse, meant to spark the creative and literary mind - as well as those previously uninterested in poetry.

Well, I haven't...

Wait, let me think. Please, enjoy this compendium of rhymes and Haikus while I try to figure this out.
