Visions of Prosetry by Vee Nelly is a compilation of four different books under one cover: Visions of Prosetry, Poetic Knight, Thorns and Roses, and Midnight Rendezvous. It contains a blend of prose, poetry, and short stories. The author explained 'prosetry' as a mixture of prose and poetry incorporated into one creative piece. This form of writing goes against the grain, the very nature, of the traditional definition of the contrast between prose and poetry.

Reading through this book, it was evident that the author put a lot of thought into writing it. Each book had a unique texture, but they all culminated into a beautiful testimony of the author's talent. They touched on themes like despair, broken homes, hope, racism, romance, abuse, infidelity and even love. Some stories represented periods in the author's life. One could see his struggles and pain in the fine lines of the story. I think I enjoyed reading Valentine the most. Though not a story itself, Vee Nelly raised several thought-provoking issues regarding the marking of Valentine's Day. He wrote briefly on the history of Valentine's Day, what it symbolizes, and a better way to celebrate it. Vee Nelly also questioned the cliché traditions of exchanging written cards, chocolate and roses. He explained how such things, in the end, do not portray heartfelt love from one person to another, be that special someone a lover, friend, or relative. He then outlined better ways to mark the day, which you will have to read the book to find out.

Lots of things were captivating about this book, but I was most intrigued by its unique concept. Although it is a quick read, the delivery was top notch. The poetry in it, the symbolism, imagery, similes and metaphors all merged to translate the soul of each story.

On the downside, several stories like Whispering Delusion, Quiet Deception, Dark Prey, Ghost of Shadows, Inflection, and Masked Intruder, were not concluded. Although there was a promise for continuity, I didn't come across the continuing part. I also came across some spelling and punctuation errors. Considering the need for further editing, I rate Visions of Prosetry by Vee Nelly as 3 out of 4 stars. It has the potential for a 4-star rating with a little more fine-tuning.

In Midnight Rendezvous, the author writes about a relationship between beings from two separate worlds. He painted a very vivid picture of the lovemaking, so fair warning to the faint-hearted. I would recommend this book to lovers of poetry and anyone who would like to read a book that beautifully fuses prose and poetry.

The overall premise of the book seems great. However, not fulfilling the promise of continuity makes the reading experience unfulfilling. Thank you for your review!

'Each book had a unique texture' I really enjoyed the way you phrased this. It seems the author has some interesting personal takes like a more appropriate celebration for Valentine's day that you mentioned. Thank you for the review.

The poetry in the book must have really rubbed off on me. Thanks for your comment.
