    About this ebook

    The world is filled with amazing things, if we will just stop a moment and take notice. In this vast universe, we are but tiny individuals, filled with awe and amazement. From reflections on first love, to reflections on growing old. The poems within these pages express a lifetime of unique reflections in Small Wonders.

     

    Whether chasing moles in the garden or fantasizing about the life of a cat, Kaye Booth's poems find playfulness, humor, levity, and often beauty. Small Wonders is a delightful compendium of poetic forms—from pantoums to Shadormas. Each poem is an invitation to see the world with new eyes.—Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, author of All the Honey and Hush

      Small Wonders - Kaye Lynne Booth

      Foreword

      By Robbie Cheadle

      When author and poet, Kaye Lynne Booth, told me she was publishing a book of poetry and asked me to write the foreword, I was honoured and delighted.

      I was introduced to Kaye Lynne’s work in 2019 when we both contributed stories to an anthology, Nightmareland, compiled and edited by USA Today bestselling author, Dan Alatorre. I very much enjoyed Kaye Lynne’s contribution to that anthology, a short story entitled ‘The Haunting of Carol’s Woods’.

      A short while after our initial introduction, Kaye Lynne asked me if I would like to contribute a monthly article about writing for, and encouraging literacy among, children for her website and blog, ‘Writing to be Read’. I was pleased to do that as children’s literacy is a great passion of mine.

      The following year, Kaye Lynne and I started a monthly series published on Writing to be Read called Treasuring Poetry. The intention behind this series was to introduce readers and lovers of poetry to new poets in the poetry reading and writing community and share some of each poet’s work and a review of one of their books. This series is now in its fourth year and has been most successful; leading to the annual publication of a poetry anthology, compiled, and edited by Kaye Lynne and myself, including three to six poems written by each of the Treasuring Poetry contributors during the prior calendar year. To date there are three books in the Poetry Treasures series: Poetry Treasures, Poetry Treasures: Relationships, and Poetry Treasures: Passions.

      Kaye Lynne writes powerful and thought-provoking short stories, and I thoroughly enjoyed the first book, Delilah, in her Women in the West Adventure Series. I expected that her poetry would be equally compelling, and I was not disappointed when I read her inaugural poetry collection, Small Wonders, Reflective Poems.

      The poems featured in this collection have been written over Kaye Lynne’s life and share a wide spectrum of memories, some full of fun, for example My ‘Vette, some are achingly beautiful, Sun and Shade immediately sprang to mind, and some, like A Single Heartbeat, are poignantly sad. All are worthwhile and inform the reader about the human condition whether delighting in nature, agonising over trauma and grief, or throwing care to the wind and riding the wave of life.
