Laura created her poetic discourse through imaginary homogeneity, dialogue and multiplicity.

In her collection of poems "Moonchild", Laura Muensterer searched for the creative, subjective energy of regeneration, that the speaker interpreted herself through the powers of individuality, division, trespassing and connecting with cosmic signs. All of those powers interacted and conflicted behind ego's discourse, that she transposed herself in many textual identities, such as the creative identity in the sign of pure fire or sun shining, the individual identity in resolving her inner world by mental games and the cosmic identity in the state of rebirth which seems as a strong presence of moon, sun and becoming of life.

 She also confirmed the powers of absence and daydreams which were happened by the magical impact of music on consciousness and unconsciousness.   

Laura created her poetic discourse through imaginary homogeneity, dialogue and multiplicity, that ego entered a new, super, spiritual state after she had gone beyond the borders of traditional life.

Additionally, ego made a creative dialogue with the reader when she wrote dense, interpretative words after the textual gaps, therefore, she returned to Haiku, but in other context, that she focused on the internal, creative development in many cross fields like, emptiness, inner conflict, creation and rebirth, so, she didn't connect to natural signs basically.

 She also supported the multiplicity of discourse powers, that she implied to many relative, inner and paradoxical states, such as isolation, creativity, negative reception, purity and the continuous formation of poetic identity.

We can also notice the Aesthetics of harmony in Laura's discourse, that she used some cosmic, subjective and natural signs Frequently, like sky, moon, flowers, trees, light, earth, the pure hyper voice, and the divided voice too. But she supported the hyper creative existence which was similar to a pure candle  fire.

Moreover, if we want to analyze Laura's poem "Like a candle"(1), we will find some anaphoric signs, sentences and pronouns which interprets the discourse harmony and textual gaps, that ego implied to the positive light of burning and also to the negative burning in the signifier of candle and its hidden transferences, so the anaphoric sign was the simulacrum of candle and its deep signification. On the other hand, the anaphoric pronoun was the first person and her paradoxical creative states in the margin of the basic presence. Also the key sentence was the simulator sentence when ego interpreted herself as a candle.
