 rating: 5 of 5 stars Kelly Moran created a portrait as perfect as an artist
 would do, before that picture is displayed to the world.
 "An Insomniac's Dream" is a collection of poems and short
 stories. Her poems are crafted with the soul intention
 to inspire the reader, and her finishing touches in this
 picture are the intriguing short stories that make the reader
 crave for more. To complete her masterpiece, she adds many
 colors to bring her picture to life. Her poems speak on a
 personal level through experience in life, and dreams. Her
 poetic muse ranges from love to regret, and times of grief.
 The poems tug at the reader's heart as in "Candle Wishes."
 The reader can feel pain, remorse and regret as we step
 into the author's shoes, while she looks back into
 haunting memories of the past. Suddenly, tears flow from
 the reader's eyes, imagining old ghosts who leave scars
 behind. One moment the reader is smiling and laughing, the
 next moment the reader is crying. "Every Pedal Falls" is
 thought-provoking, forcing the reader to turn the clock
 back, and compare their own life experience. "Dream Of
 Me" is loving, passionate, and sentimental. "To Better
 Days" inspire with words of encouragement. "Cries to Heaven"
 speaks of sadness, and regret of events that make us sorry
 for diving back into a time of sunshine, until the unexpected
 hurricane arrived, changing our lives forever. In her sonnet
 "Reality's Pain" takes the reader on an emotional dark
 journey of what once was, and could have been. A risk taken
 in life by many of us in which we can relate to the same
 situation, forcing us to imagine where would we be without
 trial and error? Of course, all readers with open minds
 relate, and realize we are forced to learn from mistakes.
 But, we also become stronger. The short stories within
 the pages of "An Insomniac's Dream" are chilling, filled
 with suspense, and remind you to turn on the lights, and
 always look behind you. "A Letter To Grandma" cries out
 loud the meaning of loss, and the suffering endured through a
 dreadful event we are all forced to face in this lifetime.
 "Thank You For Coming" leaves you on the edge of your seat,
 and is as scary as some scenes in "Cape fear." Then the
 reader is taken through the doors of supernatural as in
 the movie "What Lies Beneath." If you were never
 superstitious before, you will be now! For the icing on the
 cake, the reader is left with similiar after-thoughts as
 in the mind of Julia Roberts in "sleeping With The Enemy."
 I would recommend this book as a good read for teens, and
 adults. I also highly recommend it to poetry lovers, and
 reader's who enjoy thrillers. Kelly Moran's poetry is as
 refreshing as that of "Emily Dickinson." Her short stories,
 combined with sonnets and breathtaking poetry are viewed
 in many different colors. The mood of each color is
 painted through her muse with skill and precision to
 take hold of the reader's attention, while you crave for
 more, leaving the reader in total satisfaction!
