Tapestry

by Solitaire Parke

"Tapestry" is a vivid sojourn inside the mind of the poet; it reveals his inspirations, hopes, fears, loves, disappointments and successes. Great to ponder in the wee hours of any long and lonely night. This is a collection of poetry which has been compared to the style of Edgar Allan Poe, with a classic, medieval tone.

There is as much beauty and wonder inside this book as there is on the cover.
I don't profess to know a lot about poetry. I just know I like to read it.
It moves me the way a wonderful painting or other piece of art does.
I don't have to understand it, I just have to feel it.
Tapestry moved me in many ways. It still does.
I keep it on my ottoman and when I'm not busy, I sit quietly and open the book to a random page and lose myself for awhile.
Solitaire Parke filled these pages with some wonderful poetry.
Some of my favorites are:
It Won't Be Today
and
Higher Ground
These are just a couple of the many poems that tugged at my heart and soul.
I look forward to many more quiet moments with Tapestry. Before long this book will be soft and worn from many readings.
Thank you, Solitaire, for your lovely poems.

I love poetry, but some of what you come across may be dry, boring, or just poorly written. Not so with Tapestry. The author's heart poured out with the poetry, and I often found myself saying, "I'll just read one more" and then continuing. I tried hard to choose a favorite poem to spotlight, but there were just too many that pulled at something inside me and I found myself savoring each word.

This author's work has been likened to Edgar Allen Poe and William Shakespeare, and I can see why. Classics are read to this day for a reason, and I wouldn't be surprised to someday see this book listed with the great minds of the past. This is destined to be a classic as well. I gave this 5 stars, and it earned every one of them.
