Amazon Fireflies, Moonlight and All That Jazz Category:  Poetry Publisher: Publish America ISBN-10:  1424120543 Pages: 106 Copyright: May 3, 2003 An illustration of lyrical expression that caresses the soul. Consuming Fear Awakened with a start by the cold hand of fear sweat pours from a body that lays beneath a comforter that doesn't comfort Eyes dart back and forth searching for dangers or spooks that are conjured up by an over-active imagination The heart races, caught within the throat, in a battle between beating or stopping as anxiety overtakes Minutes pass, a calmness returns, embarrassment settles upon the weary soul until sleep once again consumes   Excerpt "waiting for the echo"

Beautiful Cache of Poems
Rating: 4 Cups

Ms. Whisman's creativity composes words that delight, enhance and bring relaxation. With a compilation of works, she pens some wonderful sensations that branch out from the heart just as the changing of the seasons. With poetry that rhymes almost like a tune, she gives the reader diverse stages of emotions as she recollects expressions of love, things that happen during the day or when night settles in and creates fondness and warmth that flows smoothly.

This collection and some of Ms. Whisman’s Haiku Corner blends a wonderful assortment for just about anyone. Ms. Whisman takes her own life and composes honest and frank language that touches her spirit as she reaches out and speaks of many facets dealing with nature. Often reading the ones about the crickets, the sounds could almost be heard. The expressions are so colorful that it is hard to choose one favorite, as they all seem to stand out in their own way. Then again, there were some that required a second reading, the intensity of the verse really flows. A beautiful cache of poems that find a way to the heart can practically be envisaged in Fireflies, Moonlight and All That Jazz. Each one carries a tune of its own as it transports the reader into a momentum leaving a warm feeling. I know it did for this reader. There were some that I enjoyed reading more than a second time. Wistful, Twinkling Ballet, Two Hearts, Hush and Without were some that really stood out to me. Ms. Whisman shares words that stem from her heart and this reader could tell that in each reflection she brought to life. She brings love to the pages in a splendid way. I enjoyed how she posed the poems in rhythmic verse that spun an interesting ingenuity.

Poetry That Flows
Rated 5 STARS

Fireflies, Moonlight And All That Jazz is a book of love in verse. Not the poetry of rhyming verse, but poetry that flows off the tongue touching the heart and mind with its afterglow.

There were four poems in this book that had rhyming phrase, and as the others, each poem spoke of the authors feelings and emotions. I found this book light and airy as its title, like fireflies dancing on the winds of a summers day and the nights kissed in the moonlight.

The author did well and has a book to be proud of. Thank you, Tammy, for a relaxing evening curled up with your book.

Beautiful Poetic Verse
Reviewed by: Mary Ellen Goble Preece

Tammy Lynn Whisman has expressed all feelings and emotions in her book of beautiful poetic verse called, Fireflies, Moonlight and all that Jazz.

She writes in such a beautiful way that touches the desires of the human spirit as well as the life of nature. She has a very good connection to that which she wants to write about and it is evident in her rythmic verse. Very nice poetry and very well written.

Her poem titled Without is one of my favorites.

Creation without inspiration;
bland

A song without melody;
flat

A bird without wings;
grounded

A heart without soul;
hollow

A fish without water;
drowns

A smile without spark;
dull

Words without meaning;
babble

Life without love;
empty
