#NaturaLitsy
This is imprinted on my mind, body, and soul 💚
What nature poems speak to you?
I read one of the poems in this collection in an anthology recently & enjoyed it, so seeing a "Best of" a few days ago seemed serendipitous (or perhaps synchronistic, in the Jungian sense), so I bought it.
The bookseller let out a little squeak as I put it on the counter, apologising for her enthusiasm & telling me she always has a copy in as it was a favourite of her mother's, who used to read it to her as a child, so that seems high praise. ⬇️
If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy,
Don‘t hesitate. Give in to it.
…
Joy is not made to be a a crumb.

"I think I am in love with A. E. Housman,
Which puts me in a worse-than-usual fix.
No woman ever stood a chance with Housman
And he's been dead since 1936."

From a fantastic poetry collection by Katherena Vermette, a Métis author. Found on Everand.

"Bloody men are like bloody buses -
You wait for about a year
And as soon as one approaches your stop
Two or three others appear."
