The Emotion of our Lives in Rhyming Time
As you immerse yourself in Carol Ostrow's latest collection of poetry,
Poems in Motion...with Much Emotion,
you'll discover gems of wisdom, moments of laughter, and a profound appreciation for the human experience of a life well lived. The poet's language is both lyrical and relatable. Her verses resonate with readers, evoking empathy and understanding.
Divided into seven distinct parts, each section delves into a different facet of our emotional landscape. "Better Life" explores the longing for improvement, the pursuit of dreams, and the quest for a brighter future. In "Appearance" the poet reflects on how our perception of ourselves, and others shapes our emotions. "Self-Esteem" delves into the delicate balance of self-worth. "Friendships" is a tapestry of emotions-joy, loyalty, betrayal, and forgiveness. "Aging" reflects on the passage of time. Anger, frustration, and passion collide in these fiery poems in "Raging." And words ignite the pages in "Love & Joy," the heartbeat of existence.
