    About this ebook

    Fantasia The Poetry Collection is a collection of poems enamoured within a theme of fantasy and surrealism.

    The author has blended poems of fantasy with those of surrealism, in an attempt to portray the beauty of poetry and how even an ordinary object of the real world can be of utmost importance in a mythical and vibrant world of fantasy.

    To name a few, there are poems about Phoenix-the mythical bird; Sphere-a repository of power that fell in wrong hands and the price one had to pay for this grave error; Rains-a mythical tale of how a farmer kept his resolve and fought his thirst;

    Tale of four seasons-A mythical fantasy encircling a debate between the four seasons of earth giving rise to enigmatic and interesting outcomes;

    Tick-tock : a timeless tale of the old grandfather clock that still announces its existence in many of the households; Halo- a mystic aura; Love is everywhere-the author's boundless imagination and realizing the essence of love through living and inanimate objects alike.

    There are other poems as well which attempt to enhance the heights of fantasy and realism in this poetry collection.

    Thus, one moment the readers would find themselves in a magical and vibrant world of fantasy and infinite imagination through enchanting stories, and the next moment the boundary of fantasy would merge with reality.

      A FEW WORDS

      ~~

      This book titled Fantasia-The Poetry Collection hovers around the theme of fantasy that at times blends in with reality. Poetry, which is beauty in itself, gave this author a wonderful opportunity to play with words, experiment with an infinite imagination and utilize the gift of creativity that is bestowed upon every human being since their birth into this magical world.

      The poems presented in this collection promise to take their readers into a world of fantasy and magical moments, where reality is surreal and is married to the exciting, yet tender moments of the beauty of fantasy. One moment the reader is propelled towards a vibrant world of enchanting stories woven within a poem, and the next moment the reader can find himself/herself returning to an enigmatic world of reality that poses several questions about life and its various aspects.

      The author hopes her poems would create a surreal, mesmerizing world filled with stories of fantasy swirling before the readers' eyes as they read the poems and the beauty of poetry that blossomed from the heart.
