'A to Z Poetry' Cover Process

Hello readers,

Today is the first day of the blog tour! I'm staying here on my blog to share the cover process. I thought since it's about my poetry I should compile a collage as the cover, but blur it for the text.

I liked it and thought I would use it, but after awhile it didn't feel right.

Someone told me they wanted me to use a picture of myself since the poems were about me. I chose a good picture from camping and turned it black and white.

I thought to keep it simple and keep the text to the left.

It didn't look right. I changed it to the right.

It still didn't look right. There was too much space. I adjusted the words and the colors. I made my cover!

And there you have it! I hope it was good! Love,

The Tortured Poets Analysis

Personal Interpretation of The Tortured Poets Dear readers, I enjoy reading a song and analyzing the lyrics. I love being able to detect the story she's telling while also interpreting it. I develop my own personal connection. Here's a breakdown why some of the lyrics have become my favorite. no one here to blame, what about your quiet treason. the betrayal brought her depression and she’s attempting to move on but the forced energy isn’t healing. It's about struggling with a traumatic situation alone because no one noticed the changes in you. The narrator is envious of those living peaceful lives and frustrated that friends found better people to be with. I've seen this episode and still loved the show, I've read this one where you come undone, I chose this cyclone with you. Depending on the perspective you choose it's about the guilt and regret for getting in your own way or willing to stay with someone through their mental illness. The voices in his head cal...
