"Leaf" is like a box of fine chocolates; you want to savor each one but end up gorging on them. At least that's what happened to me!
Van Leerdam is a credit to the poetry and prose genre. Her book is expertly edited and paced. Highlights were "Lies and Manipulations" which told a compelling story; "Passing," a poignant portrait of a son and husband saying goodbye to the woman they love; and this romance author's heart was warmed by "The Lovers".
Looking forward to the next release!

With this collection, the poet offers us a glimpse inside her thoughts. At times intimate and raw, Leaf has a dreamlike quality that resonates with the reader covering themes of love, loneliness, disappointment and despair.
In 1.37 -" But sadness whispers its cruelest lies, when I'm alone in the dark for too long".
The Tree - " The tree is drawn in fine grey pencil, the noose is drawn in black, An empty chair sits underneath the, knotted rope that's hanging slack". Van Leerdam's poetry is beautiful and lyrical, poetry to be read aloud.
Not the most ardent fan of poetry because I crave compelling characters wending their way through convoluted plots within the confines of a novel, Joanne Van Leerdam’s diverse poetry anthology, LEAF, diverted my way of thinking. Just as every leaf on a tree collectively embodies the main organs of photosynthesis and transpiration, every poem in LEAF embodies an emotionally-laden vignette played out in life as attested by words spewing raw honesty and realism. Ms. Van Leerdam puts everything on the line, along the line, and between the lines for the reader to fully grasp each scenario.

For me, LEAF pivots from the poem, “The Artist”

The shock of enlightenment jolted her soul
Each page revealed truths that had never been told;
Every fiction created as part of her art
Had been drawn from the depths of her world-weary heart.

Transpiration from the other poems bequeath truths about one-sided and abusive relationships, betrayal, unrequited love, enduring love, lies and manipulation, misery, taking control, salvation.

I highly recommend this poetry collection where the poet fully discloses her feelings elicited in each precarious situation “without fear and without restraint.”
Love it!
Each word to be savored. One of my favorites was "Weapons of Mass Destruction," an unexpected segment of the book. It was the raw truth of the words. But each selection was an inspiration to me as a writer. I look forward to reading more of this author.
Beautiful through and through. Many touched deep, my absolute favorite from the poem 'To Tame The Tongue'

The mouth is used to love and kiss
To sing and praise, smile, admire;
Yet tongue and lips will still conspire
To injure, murder, hate and curse.

This being just one small taste of a full buffet. Loved it all.
Some commonly felt emotions uncommonly expressed with a delightfully deft but light touch by a Pluviophile so that you will see both ends of a bright rainbow and also feel pain. I highly recommend this little gem as like all good poetry it whispers back to you after you have finished reading it.
This was a very well written book of poetry. It took me through all the different phases of emotions. What I noticed was that it was very well written and uncovered levels of various emotions that I really hadn't thought about. The author pinpointed many different targeted emotions. I think you will find her style of writing captivating. I look forward to revisiting this book of poetry in the future. I am sure that I will find some newly uncovered emotions.
