the seasons of hydrangeas

the seasons of hydrangeas follows the story of falling in love for the first time, told through the colors of the rainbow. With quirky play-on-word titles like "peachy keen," "beet red," and "tickled pink," this story of adolescent love is heartfelt, full of emotion, and playful with word choice and storytelling. Similar to how hydrangeas change color throughout the seasons, love transforms and grows over time; these poems catch the beginnings of how it feels to be loved for the first time.
