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.
Topics range from birth to death, from the mundane to the universe and eternity. They cover travel, reading, the internet, the IRS, nature and the seasons, gardening, animals, music, nostalgia, and more. They span the emotions of love, joy, awe, empathy, sympathy, grief, regret, sorrow, fear, anger, and more. Satire, hyperbole and whimsy, anthropomorphism and personification, as well as imagery, irony and allegory are some techniques that are employed in various works. 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.
