This is a journey, a story of the Spirit. An all-consuming love for the one spirit, nurtured and made alive by the physical form of woman, captures emotions and feelings paramount to the creation of all life existing. Such is the intensity of this love, there are moments of doubt, even self-loathing, and hatred manifestation. These are when the soul darkens, the dreams fade into a dull reality; the mind is not focused on the true beauty before us and the wonders of the universe. It takes a journey through the Moonsong, a mysterious path through the dreaming and realms of the otherworld, to capture the soul once more, lighting the way and removing all self-harming thoughts, cleansing the pores of the mind. A captivation takes hold, a rebirth, as lights twinkle in the mind's eye once more, where hope reforms and love shines anew... ...behold, and enter the world of the One Spirit...

Welcome to the world of Little Nell; an adorable, plaid jumper-wearing, doe-eyed girl. Little Nell is cute and spunky with only one unfortunate, minor flaw. She has a habit of dying. ...a LOT. Craig Gilbert continues to make us smile and laugh with his poetic, gallows humor in this, the fourth installment of the Little Nell poems.

Clever, dark poems that make you laugh with unease. Little Nell is a sweet, adorable, little pig-tailed moppet who, in each poem, is introduced, commits an absurdly foolish act, and then promptly dies.....all in the span of four lines of verse. Honoring the rhyming talents of Dr. Seuss and the dark humor of Edward Gorey, The Little Nell Poems will make the warped child in every reader clutch their bellies with laughter.
