an odd bird sometimes On occasion you do have to be in the right mood for it, admittedly, after giving the collection another try, the verses clicked with me.Most of the poems are short but life affirming, without being over flowery and very powerful in a memorable way...I ve just finished CHAMELEON Aura wanted to drop a quick review I appreciated this book because it is written from a male perspective about self love A lot of his pieces are geared towards women but I love how he infused pieces to tell his own story about self love which is important I think this is a great
