A Thin Line Between Love And Poetry

A collection of poetry for the hopeless romantic in all of us. Each poem reflects love at first sight, the ache of love, and forever lasting love. Do you wonder why some people dont understand what other people need, especially those they profess to love? Its amazing how rampant neglect is. Its not being greedy or spoiled, the need for communication and attention. Attention costs nothing. Not spending money on flowers but if you see one, pick it, and bring it home. A look and a touch are simple. A few words go a long way. People wonder why the other person gets disinterested. It blossoms at the start, but then dies when we get too busy with our lives. We chose to love that person because we want them in our lives. The newness, fluttering heart, their voice, and laugh, we must appreciate it and encourage it. We get too busy and too lazy and then when it is gone, we wonder why. Love needs nurturing. It doesnt sustain itself. Reading this collection will inspire those to reflect on their own journey of love and relive those passionate moments in time.

What happens when we open ourselves to the idea that love does not need a sole proprietor, that our hearts aren't bound by standards that tell us who and how to love? What happens if we were to live and love outside of the box? This is the story of a few daring individuals who will choose to test the boundaries of that love and explore its possibilities. Prepare yourself... because this is not your average romance novel. This is a polyamorous love story that breaks all the rules.

Poetry about the thin line between love and obsession.

Poetry. In what can be described as a verse-novel for its lyricism and rhythmic structure, Wanda Praamsma crafts a story that transcends geographic boundaries and time periods, by weaving together lives from her own family's past, including her poet-grandfather and sculptor-uncle. Subtle in its life lessons, A THIN LINE BETWEEN works at 'peeling away the I's' to explore concepts of self and family in flux. What emerges is a poignant, and at times humorous, portrait of a Dutch-Canadian family and a close look into a young woman's exploration of her own being and creative life. "Few books are so gracefully themselves: A THIN LINE BETWEEN accomplishes an atmosphere that seems enigmatically familiar, complex and unassuming. It is, in part, an intimate and oblique portrait of a major Dutch poet, but even more so, it's an exploration of how we should live. The doors in this poem lie between inner and outer worlds, family members, places, life and art--and the speaker's curiosity and candour leave them wide open."--Sadiqa de Meijer "Mixing shapes, genre and line break into a multi-layered poem (long poem and dozens of little poems), A THIN LINE BETWEEN is within and without, it opens like a door, and moves through family, love, 'the mysterious he, ' language, and all those other lives we have lived. It conveys the beauty of crafting our own selves, edits and all, and asks the questions: 'What is this place i come from?' 'Where is it i am going?' and most importantly, 'How am i going to write about it?'"--Katherena Vermette "Conversational, associative on many levels, Wanda Praamsma's long poem pulls a reader in to what is both said and unspoken. A THIN LINE BETWEEN probes the dualities of resemblance and difference, here and there, leaving the door of her heart ajar in its testing of interconnections within this highly creative Dutch family."--daphne marlatt "A THIN LINE BETWEEN balances the intimacy of personal narrative and memory with a sweeping meditation on experience and language. By reflecting on the relationship and inherent tensions between 'without' and 'within, ' it locates the hidden pause within even the most fleeting, seemingly ordinary, moments."--Johanna Skibsrud

This is a poetry/ spoken word book of life experiences.

The Force of LOVE, Gives life to all things, It can be seen in all of creation. The force of love, Causes us to care for each other, Forgive one another, And love without fear. The force of love, Embrace all colours, Young and old, Rich or poor; It is beautiful.(Title Poem). This is Worrels third publication of poetry. In his previous two works, Worth Contemplating and Thoughtful Reflections, he focused broadly on the love of God, toward us and how it is, or should be emulated by children of God, whose lives reflect the attributes of the God they serve. Hedivulgedhisobservationofconsequencesforthelackofloveaswellasthepleasantrewardsorbenefitsthatarederivedfromactivelysharingloveeven(asGodcommands)withyourenemyorsomeonethatishardtolove.Thispublication, The Force of Love, is described in the paragraph above which is the title poem. In This publication, Worrel addresses more circumstantially, the injustice, prejudice, blind sightedness or ignorance; and painful consequences of the absences of love in our life situations. He also declared the bold hope which all of us can have in the assurance of Gods unconditional love especially when facing challenges and uncertainties. Finally, as far as humanity is concerned, Worrel broadly distinguishes the dearest of all expressed love: The love of a mother. This privileged expression is widely recognized and honoured in this collection of poetry. An encouraging look into the exploration of love as it is expressed this time in a raw, candid and personal revelation.
