Peter, Enchantment & Stardust by Author William O'BrienWhat a delightful compilation of poetry by multitalented Author William O'Brien. This book of poems if divided into four sections. Section I is titled Peter, Section II...Enchantment, Section III... Stardust, and Section IV...Poems from the Story Peter: A Darkened Fairytale.It would be impossible to do justice to each poem so I have decided to mention those that jumped out at me in each section of this well-written book of poetry. "A Truth" especially touched me in the first section with its hearts of whispers and breathing love...a simple truth well worth living for today.In the second section of poems, "Wildflower Valley" immediately caught my attention. Firstly, I am also a lover of nature and I could easily envision the morning dew and the busy activity of the garden creatures including the imaginary fairy dust being spread in the spring and summer to awaken the sleeping flowers.In Section III, "The Gift" is an absolutely delightful poem and my favourite one thus far. It speaks of the innocence of boys and girls and the pleasurable experience of just getting along with one's friends. How refreshing to hear the whispers of the earth's energies and to feel the warmth of its starlit skies.Poems from the Story Peter: A Darkened Fairytale starts off with a simple suggestion...that of feeling blessed and grabbing onto this blessing while taking the time to sit...think...and fly!  It is so wonderful to feel the exhilaration of a child's mind and all the possibilities that accompany it. To find the child within the adult and to grab onto this eternal fountain of youth is not an easy feat, but rather, an exercise that every adult might very well benefit from and enjoy. My favourite poem in this section is "Little Things". Most of us have heard the expression that good things come in small packages and this lovely poem further reinforces this belief and expounds on this well-known adage.  Yes indeed...simple pleasures are most definitely found in "little things".Once again I must say, what a delightful compilation of poetry! Thank you to Author William O'Brien for sharing his talent with all of us.Inspirational Author & Book Reviewer ~ Dolores AyotteI'm Not Perfect and It's Okay
