Overview

Pennywinkles and Mimosa is a haunting collection of predictions, dramas, and after-thoughts. Readers will relate as the author reveals an assortment of literary expressive works: bittersweet, funny, frightening, spiritual-poems and stories stirred by a lifetime of experiences. She confesses challenges for exposure at the risk of being misunderstood though hopefully loved. From childhood to senior years, Berry shares these familiar whispers with you. Beautifully bound, it makes a unique and timeless gift. Dianne Berry writes, Poetry is the song of thought and life, so her writings have become sacred, personal scripture, a psalter for her posterity, a living testament for future generations. From the mundane to the profound, through all the pain and sorrow and in the smiles of hope and love, plaintive cries and laments to God, and hymns to Life itself, Dianne Berry has painted word pictures from the palette of her life. From the springtime of youthful play and dance, scarecrows to honey bees, the subtle joy of coffeehouses to the ache of an empty nest, old age and death - to new life! Berry reveals that she is a poetic pilgrim on her way to her true homeland where the final word is the Word of Life writ large. - the Publisher
