Watermelon Seeds by Dixie Kinser is a poetry collection that reads sweet and sharp. The poems feel like small snapshots. They linger in memory. You see love, longing, surprise, and quiet shadows in her lines.

Kinser writes in short, clear language. Each poem is crafted with simple images that carry deep feeling. She touches on new love in tender ways. She also weaves in moments where someone might say, “I am thinking of you,” like echoes across time. These lines feel like new love poetry and thinking of you poetry that reaches softly to your heart.

Some poems in Watermelon Seeds sparkle with what one might call beautiful words, poetry—phrases you pause over. Other poems turn your gaze inward, as though you meet another’s eyes. Those moments read almost like poetry about beautiful eyes, where sight becomes metaphor and longing.

Parts of it carry undercurrents of mystery. Small hints of what is left unsaid, what is waiting. You feel tension in the quiet. That is where mysterious suspense enters.
