REVIEWS:

5 stars ***** These poems saved my life in a way I never thought possible and for that I thank Michelle Monet, the outstanding writer of them all.

By Erin September 10, 2016

To be honest, I'm unsure of why I didn't write a review right when I finished this book. I did more than just enjoy I loved them, I felt them, I understood some in a way to my own life and these poems inspire me. Michelle Monet inspired me. This book hasn't left my mind since I finished it two or three months ago. Maybe I hadn't written this review because I didn't know what to say. I was scared of saying anything wrong that would ruin how greatly this book touched me. But it did reach its fingers out to me; it took my hand and showed me a path, a journey, showed me I was someone. I wish to own this book one day, have the pages in my hand, be able to imagine the ink that the author bled to write these poems instead of just reading them on my small phone screen, still imaging how it was, but not feeling as connected as I could.

5 ***** Joyous, fun, sad and unforgettable!

By Martha Graham-Waldon on August 10, 2016

Although I like poetry, I seldom sit down to read a whole book of it. Yet Michelle Monet’s Catch a Poem by the Tale was the happy exception. I loved reading this little book that cleverly captured life highs and lows in limerick. From the whimsical “Rebel with a Clause” to the wisdom of its final chapter, each page brought a new delight! Applause, encore, Michelle!

5 out of 5 stars ***** I enjoyed this very creative book from a truly talented writer

By James Coffey on January 7, 2017

True poetry. I enjoyed this very creative book from a truly talented writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars ***** Poetry Pearls!

By Hilary Langford on September 5, 2016

I’ve never been moved to write a review before. But this one had to be written. Michelle Monet has developed the most accessible poetry book I have ever read … No constipated sentences, with words needing a dictionary to translate, and a mind requiring a deep knowledge of classical history … Instead, she has created a delightful book, revealing the journey of her life in profoundly simple words.

WORD EXPLOSION

by Michelle Monet (Goodreads Author)

5.0 out of 5 stars “…Her best book by far!

By Andrea on July 2, 2017

This is Michelle Monet's 3rd book containing more of her zany and uplifting poetry, and it's her best book by far. This is not poetry for the uptight - it's an easy read from a new poet, but carries many insights that we can all relate to, as well as poems simply written to make you smile.

5 stars for sure! Vibrant with positive attitude and vulnerability

By Customer on June 30, 2017

Vibrant with attitude and vulnerability this poetry is an authentic look into our everyday lives. Michelle writes about writing and the mind of the writer comes through. I saw myself here in her pages. Bravo for courage!

LIMERICK EXPLOSION

by Michelle Monet

5.0 out of 5 stars First Rate! Ms. Monet’s Sense of Humor Shines!

By Kiki on September 3, 2016

What can I say about Michelle Monet’s book “Limerick Explosion”? Like her previous book “Catch a Poem by the Tale” it is filled with many life lessons. Ms. Monet puts herself into every piece of poetry she writes. She teaches about life without being preachy. She draws the reader into her world; thus, the reader is in turn able to feel a part of her world.

As a reader, I was able to live life through her eyes and through her entire being. I felt encompassed by each piece of poetry.

***** 5 stars Painting the world with her pen

By Barbara on August 27, 2016

In this fun and engaging collection, you will find poems about practically everything. There are observations about modern life, politics, creativity, cool and kooky cats, music, fame, emotions, and other random stuff. Michelle's love of of writing in general and poems in particular, really comes through and will have YOU wanting to create your own poems too!
