Poetry Treasures 6: Seasons

My Book Review:

There’s much to say about seasons and life in this collection of poetry, compiled by Kaye Lynn Booth and Robbie Cheadle.

Anthologies are a wonderful way to discover new poets and to enjoy old favourites too.

All are lovely contributions in various poetic styles/voices, including limericks, freestyle, free verse, micropoems, tanka, tanka sentence, haiku sentence, spring sonnet, (Shakespearean style) bussokusekiki, haibun, haibun haiku sequence, mondo, double ennead.

My favourite poems in the collection were those by: Colleen Chesebro, Spooky Witch’s Brew, The Fight For Spring

Robbie Cheadle, Micropoems

Jean-Jacques Fournier, I The Bumblebee, (ode to the ever diminishing bumblebees)

Kevin Morris, I Saw Carefree Spring Kiss Winter Goodbye.

Joy Neal Kidney, What is it about Winter, Swallowtail Nursery

Nolcha Fox, Prisons View

Marsha Ingrao, God’s Clouds, My Memory

Michelle Ayan Navajas, Winter Grief

V. M. Sang, Joy of Spring, Autumn in Sussex

Cindy Georgakas, Douse Me In Cooking Bliss

Freya Pickard, Dance

Melissa Lemay, Summer

Yvette Prior, Dear Spring Love Rising One, Dear Warm Blooming One

Highly recommended for poetry enthusiasts.

Hi. Welcome to my blog: M J Mallon - Kyrosmagica Publishing. A blog about magic, books, writing, laughter, and much more! I'm a YA fantasy author, poet and reviewer. My first YA fantasy novel The Curse of Time - Book 1 - Bloodstone is set in Cambridge and Book 2 - Golden Healer is now out too. As well as this, I have contributed to several anthologies, created my own with some amazing international writers, bloggers and creatives during the pandemic: This Is Lockdown and written two poetry collections: Lockdown Innit Poems About Absurdity & Mr. Sagittarius Poetry and Prose. I write book reviews on my blog and on Goodreads, book bub and on my bookstagram. I have a penchant for travel and have relatives in far flung places, Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore, (my birthplace.) I grew up in in Bonnie Scotland, in Edinburgh, and now live in Cambridge. I love sunny, hot places, particularly Rome, Venice, Portugal, Barcelona, and I forgot to mention the sun drenched beaches of the Caribbean, how could I? I am lucky to have been blessed with two lovely daughters and a husband who I fondly refer to in this blog as my black sheep. Family joke! With my passion for travel, culture, beautiful beaches, good food, books, theatre, writing, and humour, I hope to keep you entertained. I'm loving every minute of this creative journey, please join me.
