Poetry is emotions. When I write, I become one with the screen and my emotions that I am wanting to paint. It’s my time to release a small chunk of my soul to the world that I will never receive back. With each passing poem, a tender sweet part of me is given to the words and is built within your soul. Poetry is so full of emotions one cannot help but miss the chance to recognize the souls of the poets.
Draw My Pen
I draw my pen to write, These words to you tonight By candlelight, You guide each twist & turn, For your soul, I thee yearn, To teach me by your pen Of inspirational love Of words
Words Whisper to Me is that! Words whispering a look into the world of writing. Writing is the main theme of this poetry book, along with a dash of nature and love. It's also my newest favorite book by JAnn. Poems like 'Same Star”, “Why hate? Instead of love Why judge? Instead of accept We all live under the same stars and moon We all wish on the same star. ” is playful but full of truth. “Over and Over”, “Who I Am”, and “Coffee & Pen, The Writer's Life” are other poems I enjoy from this book. This book is mostly filled with short poems that have strong messages that can impact you in just a few words. Each new book the poets' poems keep getting more wonderfully.
Words Whisper to Me, is a beautifully crafted book of poetry; the title is so apt, because these poems will whisper to you, and touch you completely. There is a good mix of poems, and I especially liked the way that each of the poems varied, not only in content, but in length. This is a book of poetry that deserves to be read slowly, as the words and meanings wash over you, before moving to the next poem. Poetry is hard to master, in a few short words, when written and crafted in such an outstanding way, it can touch the reader like nothing else. JAnn Bowers certainly does this, and is a testament to what poetry, and a true poet living in a modern world can achieve.
I really wanted to give this book a four star rating, but there was something missing in this book. All of the poems in this collection were about reflecting on writing and life. Some of the poems were absolutely beautiful; they left me wanting for more. I would have enjoyed it even more if this book was longer because JAnn Bowers is definitely talented and she stirs some deep emotions iin the reader's heart. That said, I enjoyed reading the poems in this collection and will be checking out more of Bowers' works soon.
