Cherished Pulse

Unconventional Love Poetry

By Magdalena Ball and Carolyn Howard-Johnson

With original artwork by Vicki Thomas

. Like Van Gogh’s

flowers twist their faces

to the sun, I now turn mine

to the desert moon for warmth

 

and light and calm. As if you

 

were with me,

 

as if you loved me.

Cherished Pulse contains twenty poems which look at love from a wise, mature, sensitive perspective.  Never sentimental (forget Hallmark), the poems explore love in its many guises -- cherish, longing, sensuality, and that sacred place between desire and consumation. 

For less than the cost of a single card, Cherished Pulse makes the perfect Valentine's Day or Anniversary gift for someone.  This e-book can be sent and read online, or, printed (it's set up in landscape, two pages per page for easy and professional looking center stapling).  Pair the book with a rose, and you've got the ideal gift for anyone you love.

REVIEWS/TESTIMONIALS

 

"Readers are sure to be captivated in a most charming manner while reading the words offered by this pair of sensitive, forthright women whose evident ardor for life is aptly captured on the pages of this work.  Cherished Pulse is a pleasurable collection of buoyant, spirited poetry sure to pique the interest of the most discerning reader...Each of the verses is a true delight." Molly Martin, http://www.angelfire.com/ok4/mollymartin

 

"Both authors are successful in portraying love from first, youthful phases that jolt the heart and mind and changes our views of life to the deeper, more mature love that ignores the age lines and hair color of growing old. Wonderful, thought-provoking verse that a reader will want to read more than once in order to get a full view of love depicted as only a woman can describe it." Lucille P Robinson, Alternative-Read.com

 

"If you are a mature woman of secrets, then this little book, Cherished Pulse, presented by women for women, is a must read. It is intelligent, thoughtful poetry. Share this collection with someone you love." May Lenzer Lattanzio, Freelance Writer/Photographer, Author: Waltz on the Wild Side - An Animal Lover's Journal

 

"Typically love poetry will be syrupy and sentimental, but these snapshots of love, by two gifted poets, Magdalena Ball and Carolyn-Howard Johnson are more realistic and deal with scenes not usually associated with typical love poems...These twenty poems will make you think of love a little different than many love poems that you read.  You will enjoy them. Willie Elliot, MyShelf.com
