The elegant, lyrical elegies dispensed by poet Gomez are located on the first 40 pages of the volume and run a spectrum of emotions from the titillation of tenderness into longing and finally to thwarted hope.

‘Halfway to your Heart,’ ‘Flaming Love,’ ‘Fantasy World of Hope,’ ‘Books Last Forever’ and ‘Wilted Rose’ are penned in the ethereal style characterized by poet Gomez in her earlier works.

Poet Alzate’s ‘Where You Are,’ ‘Your Kiss,’ ‘Spring,’ and ‘I’m Not In Love’ acquaint the reader with another exhilarative muse whose mellifluous works are a further pleasure to read.

Alzate’s works are set out over some 30 pages in the center of the tome.

Writer/poet Martinez culminates the book with the last 40 or so pages filled with her exquisite works. ‘Destiny,’ ‘I am,’ ‘Unfold’ and ‘Faith in Us,’ each is a delight to read.

Richly drawn, well written, skillfully wrought, each of the various ode presented by three talented writer/poets is a carefully chosen offering meant to delight the reader and bring the reader back to read and re-read the odes again and again.

Emotions are deftly captured, as each poet paints a keenly focused view of life, love, emotion and passion. Gomez, Alzate and Martinez have wrought a talented set of agile and flowing sonnets certain to enchant all who enjoy rhythm and stanza, and to move those who purport they do not.

La Boheme: melody of poems is filled with tender renditions dealing with that most basic of all our being: melody running through every aspect of our lives.

Our emotions, passionate, tender or anger filled feelings all are part of the greater whole of the song of our life.

Fans of accomplished stanzas meant to be savored, enjoyed and savored time and again are sure to want this volume for their own home library.

Excellent choice for a Christmas gift for a co-worker, friend, Mom, sister or favored Aunt.

Enjoyed the read, happy to recommend.
