Just Her Poetry: Seasons of a Soul is a beautiful collection of poems about the changing seasons and also emotions. I thoroughly enjoyed this moving collection of verse, which is like a master painting but in words rather than on a canvas.

While I enjoyed each and every poem, River's Journey, Silence, Change, and Abuse stood out in particular for me. Below are some verses I'd like to share with you from the book ...

RIVER’S JOURNEY
I sit high above the river—observing. Its twists and turns propel it forward. The water crashes down the rocky ledges Leaving spectacular waterfalls to admire. It’s heading for a manmade lake Where someday it will be released into a river again, Then its journey continues until it reaches the sea. It’s a long journey ahead for this river. But, it’s also a beautiful reminder No matter what life throws at me No matter what obstacles, it keeps flowing forward. And if I ever find myself stuck in an unmoving lake… I’ll wait until that moment when it is my time of release Then I can continue my journey to the sea of dreams.

and

SILENCE
It is fleeting in that moment. In between events it waits. Motionless Moving Magnetic— It is calling you. Unheard Unnoticed Untethered Until time fades into darkness. The exact instant you close your eyes. It’s still there waiting—Silence.

and

Privacy gone in exchange for security that watches and waits. We hope that our fears are never recorded on our camera.

More amazing still, the author even wrote some of these poems while riding on the back of a Harley! Here's what D L Finn has to say about that: 'The most challenging place to write was sitting on the back of my husband’s Harley while maneuvering through the roads and wind. I’m proud to say I never lost a pen or piece of paper doing so.'

This book is full of soul searching, reflection, and creativity, and gets a resounding 5 stars from me.

***

NOTE ON RATINGS: I consider a 3-star rating a positive review. Picky about which books I give 5 stars to, I reserve this highest rating for the stories I find stunning and which moved me.

5 STARS: IT WAS AMAZING! I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN! — Highly Recommended.
4 STARS: I WOULD PULL AN ALL-NIGHTER — Go read this book.
3 STARS: IT WAS GOOD! — An okay read. Didn’t love it. Didn’t hate it.
2 STARS: I MAY HAVE LIKED A FEW THINGS —Lacking in some areas: writing, characterisation, and/or problematic plot lines.
1 STAR: NOT MY CUP OF TEA —Lots of issues with this book.

I’ve been curious for some time to read D.L Finn’s work. In fact, she has so many enticing novels, short stories, and poetry to choose from it was quite a job to decide on which to try first. I opted for Just Her Poetry, it is a sweeping poetry book with part one focusing on poems about nature, the seasons, and musings from the back of a Harley! Part Two is entitled Seasons of A Soul and expresses the author’s emotionally poignant poems about her experiences in darkness and light. There is a bonus section of Some Readers’ Favourites and bonus poetry too.

It’s a lovely book of poetry, so personal and moving. It’s almost as if you are sharing a day out with the author sharing her life, loves and sorrows via her words. In the author note at the end she mentions how nature inspires her writing. I am the same; I loved it. I particularly enjoyed the section of poems written on the back of her husband’s Harley motorbike! Journeying, seeing little details, observational poetry at its best. And some special mentions of poems that I particularly related to: Fingers of The Sea, Trees, Ocean, (as the sea is my spiritual home and I adore trees!)

My recommendation: A wonderful collection of poetry. Highly recommended.

REVIEW: Just her Poetry: Seasons of Soul by D.L. FINN
I’ve read a few of D.L. Finn’s works, including her first poems included in her debut novel, "No Fairy Tale: The Reality of A Girl Who Wasn’t A Princess And Her Poetry".
In this poetry collection the author explores feelings and various emotions she feels when watching life around her throughout the different seasons of the year, starting appropriately with Spring. I especially love her thoughts expressed when she listens to the far-off cooing of a grey dove.

"The Dove"
“Flowers are pushing through the soil … But it’s the gentle coo of a grey dove … that makes it real for me. I smile. Silently I welcome the dove back … and spring.”

The rest of her Spring Collection has beautiful descriptions: “…wind chimes sway in a musical spectacle …” and “The truth of spring is part of our souls …” which make me sit back and relax, conjuring up that magical moment when the author spots a doe and her two little ones who gaze intently at her, not afraid at all, they all listen to the trees which surround them until the author’s “furry muses” arrive on the scene.

"Beautiful Day" is a short glimpse into the perfect peace the author has found, something which she yearned for as a child, but only now, later in life fully experiences while sitting contentedly in her deckchair, watching nature come to life during Spring. What a lovely poem!

"Clouds" is so descriptive of that place where authors often find inspiration, “I’m in a place between worlds. Where I can find the space … that Poetry lives – above the clouds,” while floating “in a metal bird.”

"Nature – Fall And Winter" - here the author describes the “last eruption from fall’s glow” and basks in the red shades of the redwood forest, “in the stunning red hues that flows from the fall.” She ponders her own life’s stages when she gets to that age which the autumn leaves epitomise; “I prepare for my own winter like the foliage.” I love the thoughts expressed in "Warmth" – “In the warmth of a winter’s day, I sit perched at the edge of the forest, Arms exposed to the purity of the moment …” – feelings expressed in a nutshell!

The next exciting poetic adventure begins with, "Musings From The Back Of A Harley".
All the author’s thoughts are gathered and dissected by what she sees and experiences while riding with her husband past Lake Tahoe and towards the Sierra Mountains. I love "Write" – she says, “I write in the winds, As they tug at the pages …” of her “little blue journal…on my husband’s backbones … I write.” That’s inspiration, continuing to write about the roar of an engine that “washes away silence …” and their senses taking in all the beauty which surrounds them, finding complete bliss in that moment of motion on their “human-made horse” while “nature is swaddling her soul.” What delightful words! So much to take in and savour, but before I knew it, I reached the next part of the author’s poetry.

"Seasons Of A Soul" which calls for repeated reading rather than just a once-off sitting as the author describes her deepest emotions in "Darkness And Light, Fear And Love" ... Situations to ponder and reflect upon; her conclusion being that love wins despite hatred even though it often overwhelms its victims. "Brave" inspired me to let go of past wrongs and hurts; to “embrace what seemed like a battlefield” – again, deeply moving poetry which is further enhanced in "I Get Mad". Here, the author admits that she doesn’t have time to stay mad because she has to give that all-important quality in life – love.

This wonderful collection of poetry ends appropriately with excerpts from her novel, "This Second Chance", which I did not find strange. In fact, some of her poems such as "Evil And The Enabler" somehow reminded me of the “Evildwel” who cannot exist where love dwells, and "Trapped" reminded me painfully of how difficult it is to let go of hurtful things from the past – when we were just “…that scared little girl from so long ago”.

I highly recommend savouring all the different parts of this collection. The author dedicates sections to the holidays, family life and special times. I intend to obtain the paperback as well, because it is impossible to remember all the wonderful thoughts and moments expressed in this collection in one or two reading sessions, especially since she included favourite poems of mine from her first novel, "No Fairy Tale" – "Ocean" and "Ocean Song".
