Review
For:
Simple
Feelings & Deep Passions, by RC Langill
ISBN:
9781435704947, Publisher: LULU
Overall, I am blissful after reading Simple
Feelings & Deep Passions, by RC Langill. This is a collection of,
mostly, love poems. That I am aware of, this is the author’s only title.
To
break it down, this is a collection of poetry separated into sections titled: First Love, Being Together, Intimate Moments, Reflections, and
Tomorrow. This book, or its type, is what I like to refer to as “a good
coffee table read”. Meaning, you can put this out, and guests can read it
quickly or come and go from it. It’s something to catch while enjoying a cup
of coffee. It would also be an enjoyable wedding gift.
The book is dedicated to Kathie, and may I
say, she is a lucky woman, whoever she is. RC Langill’s sense of humor and
underlining sarcasm make this book a delight. The lines are quirky at times,
while at other times bring a subtle edge of romance. I grinned throughout this
read. A lot of the sonnets read like a conversation, making it even more
enjoyable, as you feel like you are a fly on the wall, listening to a secret
affair. I particularly liked- It’s True,
Anticipation, Stay Tuned For An Important Announcement, Losing It On PCH, Whoa,
Again, and At Night,
As with all poetry, it’s subjective to
opinions and personal preferences. There were a few times my teeth hurt for how
sweet some of the poems were. They could be a bit gushy, too. The ones I
particularly didn’t care for were-
Hello, Within Your Arms, Hands On,
Neanderthal Man, and Fighting Words.
The author’s name is not listed on either the front or back cover, nor is
there a biography, which seemed odd to me.
I certainly hope he continues writing,
especially in this genre, as he has a knack for it. He is a born romantic.
