In Duckhorns twelfth book, Memorable Sayings of Poetry, she is writing from a comforting source that lifts the spirit with her sayings as words to the wise, known by some and shared by all.

This pen is alive, and the well is the indigo nature of the subconscious. She enjoyed writing about various topics in the eight chapters of this collection, revealing her sayings around every corner.

Red Daughters in a Foreign Spotlight (Published November 22, 2008), is Marleen Rita Duckhorn's first published book. It is a collection of poems in which she delivers a plethora of worldly and lighthearted topics, with just enough humor to be wistful yet amusing with the turn of every page. BOOK REVIEWS One thing to be said about Duckhorn's poetry; readers get value for their money. Duckhorn clearly owes much to Emily Dickinson, another woman known for filling books to the brim with brief pieces. Sometimes, the poet has a fantastic ear for pregnant-though mundane-symbols, as illustrated in "The Net Weight of the Chess Set." She often seems to have a real knack for phrasing, as with the quick sketch "Who Can Master?": "Who can chortle in the midst of turmoil / Whose open heart be so driven / Bend down and kiss the good earth / And stay happy when shelter's not given?" --Kirkus Discoveries
Our souls are like sheets on a clothesline flapping in the cosmic breeze. We are pinned to them all our lives. They never fail us. They are gateways and our entrance into a divine cosmos, which includes a peaceful union to all of creation. Sometimes there may even be humor if the clothesline collapses due to a gust of wind or storm, but we always pick the line up, hang our hat and clothes out to dry, and start over. It is always thus. Now with Duckhorns latest book of poems, Flapping Soul, Words in Verse, you can enjoy a positive read through our relationship with our soul from a poets viewpoint plus related subjects all with her lighthearted style of writing.
Rhyming is part of her style, which she incorporates into her personality, wit and thought process used to convey her gems. She uses this writing mechanism for siphoning what the unbounded pours out her way on any topic she muses. Duckhorn thinks from that current of poetry and swims in it daily. Land ho! The indelible poem is in sight...

Mother Nature is always there to rely on. We can all evolve joining hands with Her. We have to choose if we are adding to, dividing or subtracting from, or multiplying Her into our lives. To do this we need to be aware, praise, accept and love. If someone divides or subtracts themself from Her intimate, ultimate nature; that is what makes them react to not go entirely with the flow of her innate wisdom. These poems were written to remind and encourage others to be grateful, thankful, and praiseful of Mother Nature's gifts of inspiration. I found fun in the writing of this collection of poems and gained deep introspection captured in my attempt to lend personality to Her wonders.
