    About this ebook

    It was last week of March 2017 and I had decided to do A to Z Challenge for the first time, which happens in April. I was looking out for some inspiration to freeze my theme for the challenge. That’s when I read the idiom “ichi-go ichi-e”. I was so much happy and impressed with the meaning that I decided to do Idioms and write a poem for them for the challenge. An eight line poem for the idiom selected is what I went for.

    It was amusing going through idioms starting with each letter alphabetically every day and then selecting the ones which felt good the most. Much fun was putting them in eight lined poems. Some of them went through several edits, many hours and some in a single go, few minutes.
