Poetry Basket Review

Hello Poetry Lovers

Welcome back to the Poetry Basket Review. Have we got a hot one for you!! Rhymes for the Mind by prolific poet Sharron Green is a reflective, calming and profound collection.

Greeted by a warm author’s note, and illustrated with vivid sunflowers, we begin our mindful journey. This poet embraces the elements and awareness in an array of elfchens, loop pieces, pantoums and sonnets, and we are drawn into nature, human behaviour and insights.

Out of the Dark in particular emphasises our deep winters and the embrace of spring. In other words, the poet writes about our natural environment from an insightful view.

A personal favourite is Magic Moments. A highly reflective view of our souls. The Chain of Life is profound while Succour is haunting. Grow Wild is conveyed in a thoughtful and classy structure while Love Life is a fuel of inspiration, reflecting our own thoughts.

Descriptive and colourfully vivid, September Sun really does bring mindfulness to us as readers. Harvest of Hope gives us true optimism. The Company of Thought is a very personal piece and A Stoic’s View is absorbing.

The Beginning … of The End is a moving account of a hard mental journey. Wise Flowers takes the right path for us. We are willing to walk there with the poet. If Only …is a wistful piece without being mawkish and gives us hope.

Tea for Two is another of this reviewer’s favourites with its touching couplets. A truly apt end of our journey leaves us with Serene Moon Scene.

We must now let go of the poet’s hand but that doesn’t mean we don’t want to read it again! A reflective well written and personal collection. Do treat yourselves.
