Welcome to Litsy!

I had mixed feelings about this. It was easy to see that these started life as instagram captions. The vibe definitely wouldn‘t have been there for me without the photography accompanying each piece, but I liked the interplay between words and images so I didn‘t mind that. I wished most of the pieces would have gone farther or dug deeper to really become something new, ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I enjoyed some of these a lot- others not as much but overall a pick! In mail now.

Do any of these interest you? I also have Poetry by Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

While reading some random poetry, I ran across this little jewel. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Again, a few pieces I bookmarked but overall I feel lukewarm about this collection.

I'm keep seeing Atticus poetry everywhere. Maybe I should read it. Found some of them on the internet and like them
@Eggs #lovepoem #atticus #february #love #loveisintheair #poetry

Poetry as a general rule isn't my most read category, though #Atticus is a different story, I will always love and enjoy his poetry, it's simple, short and to the point. Snippets of life and love.

but leave her wild.“

I'm learning that poetry is not how it sounds, or how it looks on the page
But how it speaks to your heart ♥

Love the Photography in here as well!

Do you hear that?
he said,
Listen close
the universe is singing to us
In shooting stars
daring us to fall in love.

Moody girl poetry.

Been a really long and sad weekend... gonna read an hour to distract myself for a bit.

First finish of #24in48 was Love Her Wild... I keep trying to like poetry collections, but I didn‘t really enjoy this. There were a few poems that resonated but overall fairly meaningless and corny.

It was just recently my birthday these are the books i got along with the shinning by Stephen King, a dogs purpose by W Bruce. Cameron and the land of stories by Chris Colfer. I cant wait to read them

A small #bookhaul because why not.

Today‘s Chapter‘s haul. Where to begin.

This book of poems is soo beautiful 🌼

I've been feeling a bit down today so my boyfriend took me book shopping 💕

This one was cute. I had a few favorites but the one I liked most was the one about an island (if you have read it, I hope you remember it.)

I am loving this book! So many great poems that are deep😌 all the feels💜

Vapid and unoriginal. Some of these were downright painful to read (like the above). I feel like even when I was 14, if I had written something like this down (and I probably would have), I would have realized I was being cliched and trite. And then I would have been too embarrassed to show it to anyone. Two stars because I did like quite a bit of the photography, and there were a couple of clever turns of phrase.

you know your feeling randy when you buy a book like this on the spot.

Cheers, Atticus.

First thought after reading this poem was... I love you Michael 😘 @trioxin_sematary

A few good gems in here, but I think I would have appreciated some of it more if a man were the object. Mainly short pieces about love, adventure, appreciating life. I wish the poems had titles and there was a table of contents, so I could return to the ones I like without having to flip through the whole book to find them

I never know exactly how to read a book of poetry... to read it all in one sitting or to contemplate each piece over a long span of time.

I read this book in one sitting - not because it was "just that good" but because it was simple. Many of the poems were, at least for me, a bit underwhelming. The book was redeemed by two or three greats - the poems I was hoping for all along. The book tries so hard to be hipster it forgets its substance.

As a poet, it hurts to give poetry collections poor reviews. But this poetry seemed so juvenile to me. It was not due to the shortness of the poems - short poems often pack the hardest punch. Rather it was the fact that none of these poems broke outside of cliches. I found the photographs way more compelling and breathtaking than the poetry.

A beautiful book that just makes me happy for lazy Sunday days of enjoying pretty words

♥️

Just finished book #3 of the #24in48 readathon! I absolutely loved this book of poetry! There were so many poems that rocked my soul. It‘s a quick read and absolutely recommended, especially to someone who hears the call of adventure with every change of the wind. 5* @24in48

Up next: knocking a quick one out hopefully! 😍 For the 26 Book Challenge: a Book with Pictures! Next up in my #24in48 challenge stack too! @24in48

Early gift from my mom and dad 😍 I knew I was getting it (she ordered it through my store lol) but she doesn't usually give gifts early.
