Did you know that poems can be found in a myriad of places? From the cozy confines of our homes to the vast expanse of fields, oceans, and cities, they can be discovered in the most unexpected of places. And it's not just physical spaces that hold the potential for poetry; even the expressions on people's faces can be infused with poetic beauty. When we laugh, cry, or feel deeply excited, our faces can reveal hidden verses that only those with a keen eye can perceive.

Of course, the true magic of poetry lies in its ability to be written. While poems may inspire us and ignite our imaginations, they cannot hold a pen or type on a keyboard. It is up to us, the readers and writers, to capture the essence of the poems we encounter and bring them to life in our own words.

This book is a testament to the vastness of the poetic world. It is filled with poems that I have discovered during my own poetic journey. Some of them sprang forth from my imagination, while others were found hidden in the corners of the world. I invite you to embark on your own poetic adventure and discover the treasures that await you in every nook and cranny.

As you turn the pages, you will encounter a range of poetic forms and styles. Some may be familiar, while others may be new and intriguing. I encourage you to explore them all, to let your imagination run wild, and to let the words flow from your heart.

In addition to the poems themselves, this book is accompanied by Shih-Yu Lin's expressive and vibrant illustrations. Each image brings a new dimension to the poems, adding depth and colour to the world of poetry. I hope that these illustrations will inspire you to create your own visual interpretations of the poems and to see the beauty in the world around you.

So, whether you are a seasoned poet or a newcomer to the world of words, I invite you to immerse yourself in the pages of this book. Let the poems speak to you, let them inspire you, and let them transport you to new and wondrous places. Remember, poetry is everywhere, waiting to be discovered by those with open hearts and minds.
