Watering My Soul by Ella Kate Reeves is a beautiful collection of soul searching poetry which takes readers on a journey of the author's personal struggles in life where one can relate to the experiences in the true sense of the words. The poet bares her soul so readers can connect to her feelings and words. The poems are succinct, beautiful, and full of honesty. The clarity of her thoughts and excellent emotional expressions are a revelation of her craft. Her poems have wonderful images that enhance the aesthetic and visual appeal of her writing. The images and lines convey a sense of inner strength.
The choice of themes is strong. Every word in her writing counts as they take readers through the beauty of her writing. The transient and eternal aspects that form an integral part of human lives is captured well in her poems. Her inner journey is revealed to readers in her poem 'I'M NOT JUST WRITING' which speaks about her need to connect with her inner self and reveal her true self to readers. The multiple layers of interpretation in these poems make it a thought provoking and profound read. The poet's observations on life are small and simple, but it is a rewarding and enriching experience to readers.
It is an excellent collection, rich in language and metaphors. The amazing capture of the life and the inner world of the poet, the mastery of language, and great use of words make it a powerful collection.
