I do not read a lot of poetry. I may occasionally read a single poem here or there but bunch of read a book of poems. So I am unsure why I jumped up the opportunity to read a book of poems. I am very glad I did.

Morgan Dragonwillow creates a beautiful path from pain and sorrow to love and hope all with a few words. I felt like I was "peeping" into someones life and the poem Energy in Motion made me blush in away I didn't know I still could. I can honestly say that I felt connected to the authors words and felt honored to go on this emotional journey with her.

Even if you are not a big fan of poetry I would recommend this book.

I love reading poetry, and this collection had a few gems which I not only loved, but related with as well, like the one titled "I remember me" or the one about "Grandpa Joe". I couldn't understand some of the poems, but I think I might if I read them a few more times.

I've had this book my Kindle for at least two years. I received it in exchange for an honest review.

While I enjoyed many of the poems, the one that really captured my attention was The In-Between. This line "When it wasn't kind to be you within your skin,". was one I took time to consider. I even wrote it down. I read the entire book in one sitting, but I've highlighted some bits to return to later.
