6Raindrops: Poetry for Rainy Days is a collection of poems that aims to remind readers that no one is alone. The beauty of poetry is that the written word can be your friend and even counsel you when you need it the most. Organized into four sections, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, these poems express emotions of life by using imagery of plants, weather, seasons, and much more. Poetry is like a garden--if you want to have a beautiful result, you must cultivate and feed it.
Author Patricia Vollman-Stock has always enjoyed reading and writing poetry ever since she was a young child. She was not athletic (measuring 4'10 in heels), nor could she paint, nor was she musically inclined. Instead, she wrote stories and poems. Poetry is a way for her to express her deepest emotions and purge them out onto a page so that others who are feeling the same may feel some solace.
Since many of the poems were written during Vollman-Stock's childhood, they can echo the low self-esteem she felt during her teenage years. Sadly, many girls can relate to this. Vollman-Stock has learned in writing that it is important to be honest with yourself, so the true feelings are evoked. Poetry is beautiful and can get a point across in an emotionally thought-provoking way.
The author truly hopes these poems bring you joy.
