Wanderland

Adolescence is generally considered to be an age of confusion. With the whirlwind of emotions felt, teenagers are lost.


Author and poet Carine El Natour is no exception. She finds herself at a crossroads in her life that will determine the path she takes through the future. As she wanders in this world and in her thoughts, searching for a better understanding, poetry served as an imaginary kingdom that offered an escape-her Wanderland. The verses included here are the result of that wandering. They explore a variety of themes, from friendship to love and from beauty to depression.


Offering a guide for young and wayfaring souls with a dash of rhyme, this poetry collection presents a heartfelt walk through the mind of a teenager.


Starlight kisses

Under the rain

With my hands on his cheeks

And his on my frame

Taste as sweet

As candy canes.


Starlight kisses

In the winter weather

With open eyes,

Frozen breaths,

And a taste so bitter.
