A collection of candid poems, interspersed with random thoughts taking the form of monologues. Welcome to the mind of Lolita, a mysterious soul who has chosen to express herself through poetry.
I found the book to be easy to read, and I appreciated the open display of emotion. If there is one thing readers should take from the book is the sense of self-honesty. Each poem shows the conflicting emotions women deal regularly, but I believed the content creation could be improved. With poetry, it is all about putting the essence of your thoughts into the right words.
Some of my favorite lines were:
“There are so many women in me”
“Today, I’m a superhero/I’m saving myself from myself”
“Am I easier to love when I’m in pain”
“I heal myself by writing ridiculous rhymes”
“Nothing’s changed between the two of us, darling/You’re still taken and I remain forever waiting”
“My caption screams the opposite story/Of who I truly am in reality”
“Hello, anxiety/Are you here to bother me?”
“Meet each of me – I’m not an object for you to use”
“I am you – Do you recognize who I am today? I wear my perfect mask, what do you say?”
The book is structured into three parts, each including a short introduction and a monologue. In my opinion, the writer could improve on the choice of words, as well as make an effort to add more key metaphors. As a reader, I want to remain with something upon reading each poem, a sort of a pleasant aftertaste.
Verdict:
Miss Rainbow Moonfire shows us a promising collection of poems, which have the potential for additional refinement. The book can be easily read in one sitting, and readers will certainly appreciate the outspokenness the author proudly displays.
