First impression matters, so here’s my honest review. Chime is a collection of poetry that needs some editorial love and care to become poetically tangible and inspiring.
Chime is a poetry collection full of potent messages, inspirational notions, and thought-provoking ideologies. The pieces are brimming with profound wisdom as well. You can tell that the author pours his heart and soul into each piece, especially when he is promoting hope, love, and the beauty of life. There was a bit of rhyming in some of the poems but does not follow any specific scale. I’d say that these poems are in free verse. The author made sense of using other elements of poetry such as alliteration, and assonance, but not meter. A few of the lines such as “county Clare, slanting stones, warp and weft,” are great examples of alliteration.
Despite a plethora of writing to choose from, I could not connect to this poetry collection. It seems like a first draft, a place to jot down thoughts in their raw form. I believe that the ideas needed more nurturing and the words needed gentle editing to become convincing and tangible to the readers. Although I appreciate the author’s effort in building convincing and inspiring poems with a variety of themes to choose from, this book is not for me. Nevertheless, this is an impressive concept and with a little effort, it can become an impressive book.

Chime’s collection of poems is outstanding, each one so well-thought-out and well-developed. The book is at once romantic, tragic, enthralling, inspiring, and sublime as a whole. Not to mention the goosebumps, which had me close to tears a lot of the time.
Judith takes a variety of themes as the book progresses, and the poems use the elements of symbolism, dynamic imagery, descriptive excellence, analogy, emphasis, hyperbole, metaphor, end rhymes, simile, symbolism, uniformity, active verbs, variations of tense, analogy and internal rhymes. I like analogy and one that is called “Lily”
“her petals white and curved,
Sharp succulent green.
Her stamens shed
ineradicable gold.
She stands aloof,
Her vase itself a lilting glassy
Shine, her water clear, and pure, and cold.
A goddess, empress,
White personified,
She shines, sweet lighthouse,
In this last soft light.”
This analogy is saying that “lily” can be translated as the love of our lives - unique, and beautiful and that we are destined to know them, to be with them, to see their light shine through ours. This analogy made me optimistic that I was going to read a coming together of inspiration in harmony with a collective message, possibly spiritual. This book I would definitely share this with others.

This is a fascinating poetry book. It encapsulates the beauty of life, new inventions, history, places, death, love, and sacrifice. For certain, this book appeals to a wide range of readers that gives insights into the aforementioned themes. It grabs the readers’ attention right away, and the pages keep turning to find out what the author has to say about life as a whole. This is a book that should be on everybody’s shelf.
This, in my opinion, is the author’s best work. It clearly met the criteria that prompted me to make a strong recommendation. This elegant poetry book is very uplifting to mind, body, and soul. One author, 35 poems that enhance the captivating and artistic verses on the pages with creativity for humanity. These enlivening verses of simulation are poignant and stem from various enhanced settings. The distinctive quality of elegance and moving styles of poetry included are touching and uplifting. They stem from the unique styles of a passionate poet who meticulously observe the finite details of their natural surroundings and illustrate their innermost thoughts for your enjoyment in the Chime. I love it.

This book is worth reading. This collection starts readers on the path to feeling satisfied, and that happiness depends on our choices.
Chime is a collection of poetry that shed light on a variety of themes such as love, nature, hope, integrity, life, seasons, and more. I was actually amazed by how Judith was able to weave such beautiful and inspiring poems around this variety of themes, effectively imparting a heavily important message of humanity out into the world. The words flowed smoothly and I was incredibly touched and validated by the writer’s introspection. 35 poems, each a relationship healing from the soul to humanity as a whole and individuals awakening to the beauty of life. The only qualm I have for the book is its design. It does not follow a page number, and the table of contents is random. Albeit, I was satisfied with all the brilliant ideas the author shared and I recommend it.

It’s been quite a long time since I read a poetry book and Judith’s Chime turned out to be the perfect remedy for my reader’s block. Judith sheds light on a variety of themes, especially life, places, and nature. It’s something that totally intrigued me and I had to review my beliefs to confirm such ideologies exist. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a real book with a real message for everyone.
Most of the poetries are in free verse and the ideas flowed smoothly. Each poem succeeds beautifully with the other and becomes an unforgettable page-turner. The writing was clear, clean, and genuine. I had very little awareness of what she meant by the subject “death” in her last poem “Into the Sun”. I believe that she’s trying to tell her readers that death is a beautiful thing because perhaps it comes with the notion of being taken into heaven. Overall, this is a great short poetry book that I recommend.

Poetry is powerful because it’s free; free from the constructs and constraints of prose. It permits those wielding it to explore anything and go anywhere, without restriction. In this book, the writer uses poetry for manifold purposes from nature, to celebration, dreams, philosophy, and even death.
This poet writes mesmerizingly, keeping the reader’s eyes glued to the pages and their souls bonded with each word. Some poems rhyme, while others don’t. And when the writer used rhyming, it doesn’t follow any scale such as ABAB, or AABB. All lyrics are free verse which I had no problems with. Chime I believe is a melody, a sonata in our lives where our imagination takes us on a journey through every beat of the sound. Poetry enthusiasts will find it easy to follow every poem. I’d be glad to recommend this book.

I was taken on a voyage of introspection of the author’s Chime thoughts which introduced me to a variety of themes such as love, hope, life, nature, and death I grew to like and dislike. I felt as if I was in the book in each poem. This was all possible because of Judith’s vivid, captivating style of writing.
The well-placed life lessons and the roller coaster of emotions that becomes tangible in each line gave the book a taste for everyone to enjoy. I don’t want to give away any of the poems in the book for that would be a spoiler, but I will add that the poems sometimes rhyme and sometimes don’t. Nevertheless, it’s free verse poetry that the author took advantage of beautifully. The message in each poem is clear and concise and it transmits the feeling of the theme it expresses.

Chime by Judith is a short yet expansive work of art that is both gorgeous and thought-provoking in scope.
Given the book’s brevity, it’s no surprise that there are a lot of highs and lows along the way, from being alive to death, love to prejudice, one place to another, and more, set against a backdrop of our total existence and purpose in this world. It manages to keep the reader’s attention for the entire time. It’s not just a collection of thoughts and ideas expressed in an artistic way, it’s also a book that fosters a movement. A movement that introduced a creator and His wonderfully made creations and it’s a successful mix of all of them, mixing parts from each to produce a masterpiece that will stay with you after you’ve finished reading it. This is an exceptionally written book that I highly recommend.

Even though it isn’t the type of book I often read, I truly loved it. Many of the poems in the book had me rooting for them to move me or captivate me, which I viewed as an indication that the poems have been well-written and brought to life. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
Judith creates beauty in everything through each striking piece that breaks through the readers’ hearts. There are themes that permeate nature - there is tranquility, and beauty in nature. “Heron’s Rest” for example is a poem of hope as I interpreted it. Heron’s Rest is the ultimate utopia on earth that we don’t know yet where it’s located for sure, but we all hope and dream to experience peace in our chaotic world. The “light” at the end of the poem signifies “Hope”. I have to admit to feeling enlightened.

Life, nature, God, Science, hope, hypocrisy, and love are all intertwined in this fascinating collection of poems. This is one of the most enlightening books I’ve ever read so far. When I say my life came to a halt till I finished the book, I’m not exaggerating, I’m just amazed at how much passion and skills the author must have put forth in crafting this masterpiece. It’s a short book with about less than a hundred pages that encompassed all 35 poems. I couldn’t stop reading it to see what the author has to say about our life as a whole. I have to say, Judith, you are truly a poet, a brilliant writer indeed! Please write more! This was a marvelous experience. I would definitely give more stars than five if I could. I highly suggest this one to anyone who is into poetry.
Excellent work!
Excellent work!

This book gives us a glimpse of what is beyond our imagination and the beauty of life. Aside from that, this book also themed the beautiful creation of God such as the flowers, seasons, and time. It’s a celebration of life and its wonders, with a hint of warnings such as in “Into the Sun” which can be translated as “about to die”.
By establishing highly thought-provoking ideas, and exciting new information, Judith brilliantly pulls the riveting introspection along. She evokes positivity and being grateful. The intriguing poem succeeds beautifully and becomes an unforgettable page-turner despite its extreme brevity. There’s some lovely sentiment found in poems that has real trueness to it in what it relates to the poet, treasured memories. For any poem lovers out there, this is a must-read.

The book was definitely a collection of thoughts such as love, spirituality, nature, and life expressed artistically to deliver a compelling message, thanks to Judith’s Chime. I was bequeathed a wealth of new information about the aforementioned themes, and I am glad I did. Consequently, I went into each poem, studied its structure, and concluded that the poems do not follow certain rhythmic patterns or scales. Albeit, the poems are rhyming at times. I appreciate that as a major reader of poetry, I was still able to discover new things and read about things that
I had never heard of it before.
I had no idea how much I’d enjoy this book until I started reading it. Judith deserves a lot of credit for bringing the amazing poems that are pertinent to our existence to life. This is certainly a poetry book everybody would really love. It’s great for gifts.

I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Here it is. I have mixed feelings about the way each poem is delivered. There are some poems with merit and depth that are worth reading, and that I enjoyed, that met with the purpose outlined thoroughly at the beginning but at other times, I have to admit to feeling baffled.
I had a hard time decoding the message that the writer wanted to convey. For me, take Chime, for example, it’s more like destiny or fate. However, when the words flowed smoothly, I was completely engrossed and enthralled by everything I was reading. Chime brings something new to the table that is nevertheless enthralling to savor. The other reviewers are correct in their assessment of this book. I wouldn’t be shocked if this book gets a lot of attention.

To read such moving, and captivating ideas and thoughts beautifully carved into poetry is a thing of beauty. I was heavily impressed by the author’s ideas on each theme. Although some of the poems looked prose and do not follow any rhyming scale and rhythm, the message it brings is remarkable. Surely, this is not fast work. You can tell that the author poured out his heart and soul to create this masterpiece.
With a total of 35 poems, and despite its brevity, I’m sure you’ll feel satisfied and beg for more. The words were perfectly chosen to impress one’s mind in promoting the beauty and uniqueness of life and nature. Highly encouraging and motivating, with tangible stories it brings to touch one’s heart, it’s no secret that I’m a big fan of this.

I couldn’t put it down as soon as I started reading it. It spanned a wide range of contemporary themes that had been thoroughly and aesthetically expressed. This was a very powerful moving poetry book that I did not want to finish. It has 35 poems in total and I’m sure you’ll beg for more.
The poems don’t follow a certain rhyme scale and meter. Most of them, if not all are in free verse and the words were easy to understand. You’ll become engrossed in the many themes it offered and be intrigued by the simple to complex message that it brings. In totality, the book is engrossing and enthralling. I haven’t read a book like Chime in a long time, but because of this one, I’m lured back to this genre. It goes without saying that I would recommend this book to anyone.

To begin with, I was moved to tears by parts of this book because I had grown to love each poem so much. Individually, the poems in this novel were intricately created, eliciting strong feelings and understanding of various themes. Take Caliber House for example. The author sees the event as unprecedented and it was such a tragedy seeing heroes die or get sick.
You won’t be able to put it down, and you’ll be glad that it’s 35 poems. Every poem is beautifully carved to cater to every reader’s needs. Though some of the poems may not be relatable to others, I’m sure that this book has always something for everyone. This was a beautiful publication that was masterfully told. This comes highly recommended by me.

The beautiful creation of poetry by Judith takes the readers on a multi-themed journey. The language, the words, and the sheer emotional depth of the book all contributed a level of compelling power that I hadn’t expected. At first, I thought that this was one of those poetry books that I won’t enjoy reading. Because my to-read list is so large, this one is the last on my list. The simple cover, though, kept calling to me, and I’m glad I bumped this up since it was a great read. Even in its quieter moments, I was astonished to find it so engaging and difficult to put down.
All of the poems are well-written, and I particularly appreciated how she used nature, life and God served as a reminder of hope.

Judith thoroughly understands life and its beauty and makes it tangible to the readers in such a way that completely immersed in each poem. Many “poets” and/or writers can only dream of creating a sense of verisimilitude by explicit description. This is an epic collection of thoughts that follows life and its purpose, and all that is within it.
Each gist of the poem is fascinating and well-executed without being overbearing. It’s a page-turner with both mind and muscle. I enjoyed reading the poems and I’m looking forward to reading more of Judith’s poetry. This was a great read because I was completely engrossed in each line and stanza. I highly recommend this book to every poetry enthusiast out there.

Okay, I’ve been quite fortunate in that the books I’ve been reading recently have been excellent.
The publication, Chime, is no different. Where do I even start?
To begin with, most of the poems piqued all of my senses. I was left validated, moved in tears, and motivated. The writer does a fantastic job of putting the reader in perspective of being innocent, like a child starting to learn the things around them. The 35 poems completely engrossed me in the author’s imagination and I couldn’t put it down. Even though it was late and I needed to get some sleep, I kept telling myself, “One more poem”. It was a page-turner that made me want to read it all the way through. The book was written so effectively that I was blown away. I enjoyed reading every bit of it.

This is a book that I am a huge fan of. A rollercoaster trip through the author's important moments in his life which he called “Chime”. As a poetry book with various themes brought me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions throughout the reading. I can’t get my mind off the idea that such “chimes” are the moments that we are building based on our choices. Happiness, sadness, pain, and even our preference as to how we should die are based on choices.
The words flowed smoothly and freely, without restrictions and the ideas were concrete and easily understood. It has enough description to keep my attention. I was utterly speechless by the writer’s skill and passion. I’ll be happy to be rating this book perfect five stars.

It was an exciting read, to say the least. The ability to keep me fascinated by all these 35 poems is remarkable. Judith is a fantastic poet who has a lot of ideas. At different moments, the words were touching and inspiring with incredible messages that brought me joy, grief, and inspiration. It’s hard for me to choose which poem is the best because most of them are very relatable and tangible to me.
The book, Chime, is a fantastic read that will appeal to a wide range of individuals. This collection of poems is a book that will stay with you forever, and I highly suggest it to anyone who enjoys reading. Regular and casual readers are sure going to love each poem as it talks about things in general that many can relate to. Highly recommended!

This is a collection of thoughts that is based on a variety of themes and is exceptionally well-written. Don’t be put off by the rhyming, most poems are in free verse, and not restricted by the rules. I believe this is how poetry should be.
Chime is backdropped into diversified themes such as life, death, hope, nature, and more. More than ever, I have never flipped pages and devoured words as I did on this one. That’s how great this book is. The build-up of ideas, the creation of words, and the free rhyming (may it be half-rhymed or full rhyme) were just in-depth and wisdom-filled. For sure this is going to be loved by contemporary readers and 21st-century readers. It gives peace and a soothing experience to the readers themselves.

A successful poetry book requires relatable and passionate poems to seamlessly blend into the pages. This collection of ideas expressed beautifully has a wide range of themes. There were some that you would enjoy reading and others that you might despise.
This book ranges from nature, life, romance, death, and love. Most of the poems were written in free verse. Some follow the rhyming pattern, and others don’t. Nevertheless, the message in each poem celebrates goodness. In every poem, there’s always something that you can take away. “Into the Sun” gives us a glimpse of what death probably feels like. I am delighted to have read this masterwork, which is captivating.

One of the best poetry books I’ve read in a long time is “Chime”, which is a wonderful collection of thoughts and ideas by Judith Cordary. This work is a terrific page-turner because it flows well and at a brisk pace. I also liked how the writer used imagery in each poem such as;
“Black dark,
rich gush of water
on black rock,
This furthest Irish sky —
suffused, a rose,
Its velvet throat,
By slumbering coals.”
There’s no specific rhyming scale in each line but the words flow smoothly and passionately. No syllabic meter as well because the poems are written in free verse. This work is a must-read for everyone because it raises a lot of essential and internal themes.

There are a lot of books that have really piqued my curiosity and made me really invested in the stories that they entail. But this book, by far, has been the best when it comes to upholding what the book wants to uphold.
Chime is an incredible collection of poems that span a wide range of themes. While some of it, most particularly, life and nature, brings a lot of enlightenment and motivation to the readers. This book makes clear the beauty of life. It has opened a fresh perspective in my mind, and I can’t help but really be euphoric for having read this incredible book by the author. There’s nothing that I have other than high admiration and praise.
