My husband was looking on our bookshelf for a short and easy book to read because I was telling him how I wasn’t going to find time to read 8 more books in 24 hours.
He tossed me this book and laughed. This book was gifted to my mother by her sister in 1991. I’ve never read it, it doesn’t look like my mom read it either. And so I figured “why not?”
It only took my 35 minutes. If I’m honest, I do not like poetry very much. Oftentimes I do not understand what I’m reading and I do not like trying to solve one sentence only to be puzzled by the next. Some of the poems were sweet and I enjoyed them. Others were impossible to understand because of the language. Overall, I would not read this book again. But, it was something out of my comfort zone. Like I said, I don’t like poetry.
My sweet husband gave me this book years ago, and it was put aside and never read! I recently rediscovered it and it was lovely to read these old-fashion classic poems especially around Valentine's month!
