pickThis is a good to so-so poetry collection. Many of the poems all filled with nostalgia and regret - clearly written by an author approaching her later years in life. I felt the first half of the collection was stronger, but there were many poems that I enjoyed throughout. 3.5⭐️
I haven‘t had time for #poemsbeforephones lately, but finally had a quiet morning today. I loved the above passage - trying to drive with a dog in your arms as a metaphor for life!
#poemsbeforephones The poems in this collection draw a lot from a regret that life has passed too quickly. This is both depressing and motivating. I‘m hoping to get to a few of those birds before they take flight!
pickreally enjoyed reading this collection of poetry - I took my time reading this one, letting the words sink in & went back to reread some of my favorites as well ?????
" . . .
what we long for is with us, passing too quickly
it is in the evenings, on the stoops
pleasure of the breeze on bare arms
. . . ."
On a grassy bank under a willow tree
I fell asleep pillowed in an elbow of summer,
and woke to see snow falling.
