Soaked In Poetry

written by: Anastasia De Benedetto

Melancholic eyes, soaked in poetry

Dreaming of adventurous overturns

In a world that forgot how to beam

Anastasia De Benedetto

My name is Anastasia and I am a twenty-two-year-old tourism management student based in Milan. I have both Kazakh and Italian origins, and I speak fluent Italian, Russian and English.
Writing poems is what makes me feel free and lighthearted the most. Verses come to me in an unpredictable and spontaneous way. When I write, I completely abandon myself to the flow of adjectives and metaphors in my mind. As a result, my poems do not stick to one particular theme, language, or format: I enjoy experimenting.
