Welcome to Litsy!

I don't know what to say about this book...
I just didn't like it as much as I would like to. I know that poetry is a personal thing and nobody can judge it, in fact I'm not saying it's not good, just that I didn't get some of the poetries.
Don't know...
★★

👌

no
it won't
be love at
first sight when
we meet it'll be love
at first remembrance cause
i've seen you in my mother's eyes
when she tells me to marry the
type
of man i'd want to raise my son
to be like

i struggle so deeply
to understand
how someone can
pour their entire soul
blood and energy
into someone
without wanting
anything in
return
- i will have to wait till im a
mother

#PoetryMatters Day 8: #Oblivious

This book was a nice reminder of how joyful reading poetry can be and the double meanings

“you might not have been my first love
but you were the love that made
all other loves seem
irrelevant”

Haven‘t been able to read the past two days because of a killer migraine that won‘t go away. I went to sleep with it and woke up with it. I still managed to clean my house, but my 2y/o has been extra terrible today on top of everything. We‘re gonna be iced in tomorrow so I hope my head feels better so I can enjoy my snow day with a good book. Send me some positive vibes.. 😔😩

If the hurt comes then so will the happiness. -Rupi Kaur I picked this quote because it‘s true. It‘s true because if you don‘t feel sad you will never know what it feels like to be happy.

THIS

I‘m always astounded when someone has put the words of my heart to paper.

Revisiting some Rupi Kaur to help soothe my soul. I read it years ago and didn‘t really get it but now I do. I guess you have to be in certain headspace to feel it.

Milk and honey is a book of personal flaws. It touches deep into your personal life and heals what you didn‘t know was damaged. The poems listed inside the book are personal, and imperfect which makes the book stronger in the message being sent throughout. It helps your flaws resurrect as beauty and opens your eyes to what may be hidden under a persons skin.

1. Haruki Murakami, Wilkie Collins, Neil Gaiman

2. Hmm... 🤔 I'd say Hiraku Makimura (in Dance Dance Dance by Haruki Murakami) - an unsuccessful overrated writer character... 😆 Honi soit qui mal y pense...

3. Tagged. Saw it today when shopping for #jolabokaflodswap and #littlechristmasswap and bought it immediately. Discovered it on here earlier this year... Typical #blameitonlitsy buy... ⬇

“You Wisper I love you, what you mean is.. I don't want you to leave.“

Quick read. Although some people do not agree that this is poetry i am fine with whatever it is.This book consists of the hurting, the loving, the breaking and the healing.
What touches me most is that “Every time you tell your daughter you yell at her out of love you teach her to confuse anger with kindness which seems like a good idea till she grows up to trust men who hurt her cause they look so much like you” from the hurting.
4 stars out of 5

Thank you @Pogue for all the extra goodies! My son and I are currently enjoying some of the hot chocolate. #cbbc #Coffeebeanbookclub

Beautiful words of survival, love, violence, and healing. My plan was to only read 1 section of poetry per night, but I couldn‘t help myself and read the entire book in an hour 💛

#PoetryMatters Day 18: #Honey

This has been the hardest part of leaving behind my old life and losing my independence.

I'm hoping one day I will look back from a position of success and be able to give back to my friends and family who helped me when I fell.

I don't know what that "Success" will look like yet, but one day I hope to look back on all these struggles and be proud again ❤

Simple #poetry always feels more impactful for some reason, do you agree?

Well then.

Obsessed!

My signed copy of Milk and Honey.

Lovely... although I feel that I would have enjoyed this more when I was younger. 🤷‍♀️

Prompt: Fave Short Book

This is the shortest book I own. Of course it is a book of poetry.

Second time round for this book. Still great, but the audio does sound a bit more sensual/sexual for work setting it might just be in how she reads it with some heavy breathing and long drawn out sentences. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

There were several pieces that I enjoyed.
Still not sure how I feel about her work overall though.

Sharing a few of my favorite pieces from this collection - part 3

the next time you
have your coffee black
you‘ll taste the bitter
state he left you in
it will make you weep
but you‘ll never
stop drinking
you‘d rather have the
darkest parts of him
than have nothing

Fall in love with your solitude

Thank you so much for the beautiful book sleeve @caroline2 - I love it. Perfect size for my bag - I'm definitely going to use this a lot (when we're allowed to go places again!) I love the fabric. And thank you for the book as well - really kind of you. ❤️

So many great poems by rupi.

This collection for me, felt more like a collection of prose but I think that of most modern poetry lately, but there were pieces in this book that reminded me too much of what I've written about in my journals, so for me, this collection was like reliving a moment.

A bit angsty, loving, strong, naive, bold, and young - there's a bit of everything for different readers.

Beautiful, I loved this collection of poems and will come back to it many times in the future.

One of my favorites from her.

Some lines were too cliche, I'm very much into poetry but this one is definitely not for me, to each his own, I guess.

1. It's my real name. I missed the memo that said not to do that.
2. I'm thankful the Wednesday was a holiday here in Canada.

The tagged book has helped me but I need to read more non-fiction books on trauma. Happy books that I enjoyed are the 2 by Talia Hibbert and The House in the Cerulean Sea.

1. I have actually not been listening to any@misc but occasionally listening to this: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1llkez7kiZtBeOw5UjFlJq?nd=1
2. The outpouring of virtual love and support from people who make me believe in the goodness of Americans.

Read as much as I could whilst in a library. Was moving in it‘s honesty of painful experiences. Only bailed because I couldn‘t get through the whole thing in the time I had. Some important truths, albeit presented transparently.
