A World of Limitless Dreams

A Book Review

Gail Boenning is a writer/artist I became acquainted with on one of my used-to-be-favorite writing platforms, Medium. She is intentional with her word selection, fluid in her delivery, and a great artist, too.

I reviewed another book of hers in December of last yearPOISE: Facing Cancer with Grace and Resilience, but did not share it here. You can read it via Amazon by clicking on the link. But here is a blurb about it just to heighten your curiosity:

Gail’s story in bite-sized vignettes was helpful and fulfilling. I felt as though I was walking right along with her throughout every phase, but not directly–indirectly. I was an outsider looking in, and I enjoyed my time spent there.

It was of no surprise to me that Flit Flutter Float (a playful guide) would be just as enjoyable. I was wOWed, sent to my #happyplace, and remained there the entire time.

The review:

“A Bit of Sunshine During These Gloomy Days

Gail never ceases to amaze me! I am happy to see her take her art to a whole new level. In Flit Flutter Float, she offers 33 fun, philosophical, and witty micropoems that remind us to be limitless.

For each poem, there is an animal with a suitable name, a quirky dilemma, and an airtight solution. The illustrations made me smile, and I connected with a number of the poems shared. I would venture to say the book is definitely for ages 13 and older.

Some of the references may go over the younger ones’ heads, but I am certain anyone can take delight in the art shared.

I could read this over and over again, and I have this feeling, I would never tire of it.”


If you need some light reading with a playful air about it, too, I highly recommend Flit Flutter Float.

“Write Your Own Story”

Lune, 3 Parts

Someone placed a label with the phrase, “Write Your Own Story” on one of our elevator doors, tucked neatly in the corner. Had I not been paying attention, I would have missed this message. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt

write your own story
the message
could save my scared soul

change is a constant
that’s a truth
no one can deny

I’m ready to move
ahead now
time waits for no man

hurricane Helene

a lune, 3 parts

hurricane Helene
pummeled us
with her windy waves

power outages
reported
all throughout the state

advised to be safe
we found peace
safely in our homes


To those of you who rode out the harshest storm in years, it is my prayer that you are safe and sound of mind as well. Peace and blessings.

two loud thunderclaps
s p a n k e d the Friday sky
distracted from work
I looked up to see
a blend of colors
had birthed two rainbows

Friday’s sunset smiles
reds and oranges
the p e r f e c t sky blend;
picks me up a bit
gives me a great hope,
reminds me of life
