5 Star Review by Realistic Poetry International
Book: Time On Hand by Author Dennis Ferado
5 Stars
“Potent and beautifully emotional.”
-Realistic Poetry
In this book, Ferado effortlessly articulates the unfeigned exclamation his heart holds for his family and friends with poise and finesse. Poem after poem, you are naturally convinced to read more and more, and for more than one reason!
Throughout the entire book, Ferado’s writing ability is never limited to one subject, topic, or thought; nor does it divulge any signs of lackluster; rather it is tantalizing, exploring the exotic and profound diversity of words through different classic writing techniques. A great example of this is his poem entitled, ‘Sweet Breeze Over Strawberry Fields’. Ferado replaces recycled monotonous phrases with fancily intricate locutions such as:
“Simmering essences of wishes and dreams…”
“Inhaling scents of naked flowers…”
and, “calming tense flayed nerves enrapturing the mind…”;
much like state of the art verbal innovation when it comes to the idea of creation and quality.
We cannot write this review without illuminating one of our favorite poems, entitled, ‘Grandma’; which is a poem and exclusive tribute that reminds us all of why grandparents are so near and dear to our hearts.
Each verse possesses such candor, displaying Ferado’s grand love and utmost respect for a very special woman in his life; his grandmother. And he makes it as clear as unadulterated crystal that she played an extremely relevant role in his life, especially in his childhood years. In one part of the poem he writes:
“Grandma was the only one who ever loved me free
There were no strings attached to the love she gave to me”;
There were no strings attached to the love she gave to me”;
an obvious indication that he and his grandmother had established a solid and resilient relationship bonded by the precious elements of blood…and love! Indeed, this poem was comfortably relatable, and even included a vintage-like photograph of him as a child, along with the wonderful woman (his grandmother) he loves. It was a lovely dedication and triggered feelings of smiles and tears.
But wait, there is more. Pushing past the definition of ordinary, Ferado defines the poem, ‘Grandma’, even more by including a statement which expressed some of his grandmother’s most valuable wisdom and advice, which we will tell you, is truly priceless and could be used for ages! And though we would love to share her words of wisdom with you, we will leave you with something to look forward to and won’t ruin the surprise.
All in all, Time on Hand, was a pleasant and elaborate read! You anticipate to read great poetry, but this book actually gives you so much more. Poems that take you back in time, unfolding treasured pressed memories. Emotional written passages of detailed narration vividly supporting and intensifying the meaning embedded within each poem. Simply put, Author Ferado is a superb writer, and we have now also learned through his writing, that he has an endearing heart of gold!
Time on Hand, is a literary novelty for poetry, and definitely deserves a 5 star rating, and accolades!
