New Beginnings penned by the author Victoria Day-Joel is an intriguing collection of poems and verses based on the new relationships, love, etc. These poems are written in few lines but they convey very deep feelings.

Thirteen days blown away,
With a bond so strong
In this world we don’t belong,
Because we are the universe.

Through above lines, author is trying to say how with someone we develop an instant connection and we feel comfortable with them even though we have just met them for the first time. Poems and verses are kept short and written in simple language. Author has not dragged her feelings too much. Just in few words, she has smoothly expressed herself. I appreciate verses at the end of each poem as that helped me to connect more with the poems.

If you are in love or a romantic person then you will fall in love with Victoria’s writing. I was so captivated by these poems that I couldn’t keep the book aside until I finished it. I am really craving to read more of Victoria’s work. Strongly recommended for poetry lovers.
