This book makes me want to start my own tradition of sending valentines poems to my friends. This book was a quick read, both charming and lighthearted. I loved it and fully intend to reread it again and again. ♥️

This afternoon‘s poetry choice. I got the bookmark from a local artist at a ComiCon earlier today. I‘d never been to a ComiCon before, and this one was fairly small, but I actually thought that was a good thing, since it wasn‘t as much of an overload for all my senses. I‘m glad I went, even if the experience overall was underwhelming.

dabbe I adore Ted Kooser. 🤩 3w
Gissy Beautiful bookmark😍👌 3w
slategreyskies @dabbe I really do as well. You know, on his website, he has listed an address where you can write letters to him. I thought that was such a friendly thing for him to do. It warmed my heart somehow. It felt so old fashioned and kind. I think I would like him if I knew him in person as well, which I can‘t say for all authors/poets. 3w

This was the perfect spring read. I really loved these poems. My only complaint about this library book isn‘t about the content but instead about the fact that another reader read this while eating and dropped food on many of the pages throughout it. Who does that and then doesn‘t even bother to wipe the food off? I was using my fingernail to scrape away chunks of dried food. It was really disrespectful and careless of that person. But the poems?

slategreyskies (Cont.) the poems were just what I wanted to read. Loved them! #poetry 1mo
wanderinglynn Yuk. That is gross. If it‘s really bad, I‘d let the librarians know. And who eats like that when reading a library book?! (edited) 1mo
slategreyskies @wanderinglynn I hadn‘t thought of letting them know. I was just trying to clean it up as I read, but I think I may mention it when I return it. I kinda don‘t want them to think I was the one who did it. Thanks! 😊 1mo

1. I did send and give a few to friends and my daughters. I gave cookies in heart bags to my friend, @JenReadsAlot and the fam. My college kid got a nice care package today.
2. No, I think there are many people out there you never meet so one soulmate seems stingy, limiting :)
3. Knitting and reading all day with a nice dinner in, followed by pinball or other adventure.
@Eggs - thank you, I look forward to this every week🥰 #wondrouswednesday

Eggs Thanks for playing and I hope your day was great♥️ 3mo
