Soulful Serenade - Book reviewed

A short review of a short book (83 pages) of poems by Marina Gomes. I have known her as a blogger and we are friends in the virtual world. She requested me to review this book for her so here it is!

The book titled ‘Soulful Serenade’ is divided into five sections with each section containing eight poems each.

1)     Budding – All eight poems in this are visually evocative. Beautiful imagery.

2)     Sensual – Here the words are sensual and have a lovely flow.

3)     Confused – All are very descriptive, almost prosaic but make interesting reading.

4)     Despair – As the title suggests it’s all about despair.

5)     Hope – The book ends with eight poems filled with fond hopes.

 

A beautiful book overall which starts about budding love which goes on to become sensual leading to confusion followed by despair and finally with hopes for happy endings!
