Kelly, first I apologize for such a late review. I read this one shortly after you posted it and thought I’d left a review.

Yes, you are a poet! And, in these few words capture the magic of poetry, the silent pain we bleed onto pages, redeemed later with the moon’s distant influence. A literal success, I say.

[R.E. Ray]

Ok, that’s weird. I didn’t see my previous review until I posted this one! Well, lucky you... two reviews. ;) Must be this coffee this morning.

I know the feeling, Robert!

"MUTED WORDS" indeed . . . however they ring loud and clear to thirsty hearts needing purpose.

[Kelly Scheppers]

You really are worth the wait, you know!

[C. M. Miller]

As you know . . .

Your powerful poignant words explain it all so beautifully. There is so much more to a poet than meets the eye and you are a prime example of one. It is not just about putting words down on paper, it is a special way in which one views the world, how one looks at people and nature through poetic lenses. You always have this gift of expressing deep emotions and thoughts with just a few meaningful words. One can see that you are a quintessential poet in everything you write about.

[Kelly Scheppers]

You've got me all teary eyed, Dara...much love and many thanks for such an endearing review! ♥

Only you could say so much in a handful of words.. and leave an imprint on the mind in the process. This is beautiful lunar light, Kelly.. and as such will shine on and on and on.. Sighhh

[Kelly Scheppers]

I always find your reviews most endearing, in content and in how they make me feel. Thank you, Em!

[Samuel Dickens]

And a million other things that mere mortals are incapable of--metaphor... well, you know the rest. The creative mind can soar.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you ever so much, Sam!

I get drunk with the moon too. I befriended a few who loved the night and the stars. Wonderful use of words dear Kelly.

Metaphorically speaking, and otherwise, Kelly, you're a poetess' poetess through and through.
You can say more in fourteen words than most ever will in a thousand.
The taste and timbre of your imagery and imaginative expression is unequaled … I mean, who else is going to say, "I bleed muted words and drink the moon."(?) … sheesh, Girl, you stun my senses!!!

Who else could possibly say, "I drink the moon and turn it into muted words of poetic blood" with such eloquence of savoir faire? It is not a question I can answer, because I know of no one.
Hugs, Kelly, for another sure keeper from your golden pen! ⁓ Richard 🍃

I take pride in myself, for writing with a brevity of words. It's become a blessing to me of which I am most grateful. My Dad used to paint, so I guess I got the creative gene from him. Thank you, Richard. Your presence here is one I always look forward to with a smile!

Setting out to write the epic the poet found the perfect ending and wisely decided that epic poems were over rated. When you get there, stop. Good work.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you kindly, Delmar!

[Ken Simm.]

What a superb jewel. And I drink the moon .... that one gets me. That one is classic and will never leave me now.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Coming from a poet of your caliber, that means a lot to me. Thank you, Ken!
