A smorgasbord of plain-spoken, understandable poetry awaits you.
Not romantic poetry per se, but love is embedded within each piece of work.
Not only are the topics on a wide range of subjects, but the forms also vary. There are sonnets, haikus, a modified tanka, and poems with various types of rhyming schemes.
Form and/or technique are borrowed in a few to give homage to a favored classical pop rock song, a poem by Paul Lawrence Dunbar, and two nursery rhymes meaningful to the author.
A personal message is hidden in one of the pieces, a kind of riddle, which could be detectable by the observant reader. There are a few experimental pieces and a couple that are prose-like. Many are blank verse or free verse. Some pieces are like teensy tiny novels, having their own heroes/heroines, plot and tensions, all to be resolved within a few lines.
Art in the forms of watercolors, photography, and a couple experimental pieces enhance reading pleasure and emotional response. An appendix allows a better understanding of each piece, the emotional basis for it, or sometimes just the observation that was inspiration.
This book is a microcosm of one human’s being. Her observations and experiences, her emotions and fantasies, all tied together with the love nestled within the pages of this book.
