Just Her Poetry: Seasons of a Soul by D.L. Finn

Take a journey with D.L. Finn as she blends her love of nature with her deepest emotions. Sit with her on the forest floor observing its tranquil beauty, or stroll along the ocean’s shore admiring the vastness of its horizon. Here in these peaceful moments you’ll be able to experience her thoughts and feelings in the light—and in the darkness. This is a thought-provoking collection of poetry that invites the reader into all the seasons of a soul.

A Couple of Reviews

Daisy titled her review “Lovely Poetry For All Seasons and Reasons”
What a beautiful collection of poems by this talented author. I was in the mood to read something steeped in subject broadness. A sampling of how to view life and that’s exactly what was waiting in these pages. DL Finn captured each season’s unique story. She paints nature’s show with words. In Blooming she tells us “Happily pampered in nature’s blooming-I could stay forever.” Taking us into Fall, we’re reminded it’s “a time to rejoice and embrace everything.” The journey continues with delving into our highs and lows with emotions. Her poems ask us to explore our world…society and its exacting ways. Surprise awaits the reader as the journey continues with heartfelt poems about family and vacations. DL Finn’s poetry invite the reader to linger, to savor her words. And I can promise you, it’s something you will choose to do again and again. It’s truly a collection for all seasons and for all reasons.

My thoughts: Dozens of DL Finn’s poems are divided into sections, Nature by seasons, Musing from the Back of a Harley (yes, she really wrote them while riding behind her husband), then Seasons of a Soul through emotions and feelings, plus miscellaneous topics. I especially enjoyed those that revel in all aspects of nature, or from the Back of a Harley, where the poet was happiest. There are darker poems in the Seasons of a Soul, but the positive ones return later in the collection. A mesmerizing collection.

D.L. Finn

She was born and raised in the foggy Bay Area, but in 1990 she relocated with her husband, kids, dogs, and cats to Nevada City, in the Sierra foothills. She immersed herself in reading all types of books but especially loved romance, horror, and fantasy. She always treasured creating her own reality on paper. Finally, surrounded by towering pines, oaks, and cedars, her creativity was nurtured until it bloomed. Her creations include children’s books, adult fiction, and poetry. She continues on her adventure with an open invitation to all readers to join her.

  13. If Finn can create poetry in her mind while riding on the back of a motorcycle, she is a wild and carefree spirit! Good luck to her and all her endeavors, especially when she’s gliding through nature on the back of a Harley. 🙂
