Golden Tendrils

Golden Tendrils is the second edition of the same title. The first book had 38 poems. The 100 poems in this edition each tell an intriguing story, and echo diverse experiences in life. Some poems reflect the joys of life accompanied by the painful experiences one may face due to disappointments and rejection. Some show that change is inevitable, and that wisdom is needed to accept and deal with new developments. The emotions depicted in the poetry are faced by both young and old, and therefore appeal to a wide audience. It is an emotional collection that will greatly move readers.
