Kaleidoscope by Vickie Johnstone

My first book is a collection of 119 poems - some long, some short, some haiku - that I have written on various subjects over the years. They range from serious to funny, covering subjects from the everyday to philosophy or the abstract. Some are snippets from the lives of imaginary characters or just ideas or reflections on nature. The book is structured under eight themes: figures; nature; abstracts; love; haiku; creatures; childhood and darkwave.

Now, I will be honest & say I don't generally like poetry but I was given the opportunity to read this & as I enjoyed a previous book by this author I thought I would give them a chance. I went in with an open mind and I am so glad I did. Wow!

I liked the contrast between the light and dark poems and enjoyed reading about all the beauty we find in the world.

Kaleidoscope is thoughtful and evocative. I particularly like Pine needles which conjures up images of holidays past!

Moments that make us pause long enough to look around and remember the magic. This is refreshingly talented writing.
