The spiritual depth and emotional maturity of M. Dianne Berry - poet friend, co-worker and kindred spirit - resulted in her refined and skillful publication, Pennywinkles & Mimosa... Although this selection of her poetry spans roughly a decade, it stays relevant and timeless, because it touches the reader with real life emotions, they can relate to. Words seemingly in grand and dramatic swirls stun the reader into silent introspection and the eagerness to understand, on the one hand, as well sparking the yearning to embrace - and brace - His creation, on the other hand: intense, focused and vibrant, this poet/musician/singer mastered the use of poetic devices flawlessly in order to weave wonders from words: yes, until phrases hum, sing and praise! Whether the tone is spiritual, joyous, peaceful, melancholic, or a handful of pearls , the potpourri of stories and verse sprinkles its fragrance leaving wonderment, hope and reassurance in the heart of the reader. Your life is nowhere but in God's hands.
