Lilies & Lace & Dark Pretty Things

by Melody Lee

Melody Lee writes intimately and passionately on subjects close to her heart: love, loss, nature, optimism, being human, and she does it poignantly with her trademark warrior spirit. Lee assures her readers it is absolutely okay to be different, to be yourself, to stand out, to not fall into the crowd mentality, because that's the essence of freedom and how one shines. You feel the fire in Lee's words and her sensitive, compassionate spirit as revealed through her poetry, writing for the dreamers, the free spirits, and the romantic eccentrics in all of us, indulging in the voice of her soul. She is an intuitive, an alchemist, her inspiration resonates with both the feminine and masculine parts of us. She brings her experiences into magical poems, painting ethereal pictures of love, nature, and beauty, as she opens more of her soul to the world. Lee doesn't shy away from expressing the dark side of human nature. Lilies & Lace & Dark Pretty Things brings comfort in a world that could use more imagination, love, kindness, and compassion. You feel this in every poem Lee writes. The free spirited, romantic, moon child. The eternal optimist. The effervescent butterfly.

I wish I could write and express myself like Melody Lee! I am now lead to purchase other books of poetry written by her.

I love reading poetry by Melody Lee and this, her latest book, is just as amazing as her others. Powerful, passionate, honest...each poem rolls of the tongue like some sweet but dangerous body of words demanding your attention and thought. Subjects such as love, the poet, strength and desire are explored and expanded upon giving the reader a real sense of hope, melancholy and joy. Buy it, read it, then read it again and again and finally, love it!!

Melody Lee is known for melding mystery and beauty to create poetry that calls out to the wild within us. In Lilies & Lace & Dark Pretty Things, Melody combines the mystic energy of Moon Gypsy with the dark magic of Season of the Sorceress. The result is a powerful collection with pieces that speaks to the heart of every reader.

It is worth the read! So many good ones, so many that many can relate too. For example; One of my favorite lines in this book is at the end of the poem Learning Curve: "My dual conversations, internal opposing views. I play devil's advocate with myself." Oh, how I do this sometimes daily.. so many to quote but I hope this one helps lure you to read.

This book is simply fantastic. Melody writes from her soul and that is what poetry is. The soul coming undone. I cannot recommend this book enough. It is simply superb.
