Poetry sometimes defines us in ways we do not realize. It gives us the chance to place our own souls within the words written by someone else. Poetry is about interpretation, and that is the most beautiful part of it. Within these pages, there are a variety of poems about the shades of life: the darkness, the light, and all the shades between the two. Life is never black and white, and neither is the way that everyone sees that life. Enter the shades, and emerge a little changed perhaps.
