Poetry books I love

I have recently found a love for poetry. This post is about 4 poetry books I absolutely love and a poem from each book.

MILK AND HONEY BY RUPI KAUR 

"I thank the universe

for taking

everything it has taken

and giving to me

everything it is giving."

                                                                         - balance

THE PRINCESS SAVES HERSELF IN THIS ONE BY AMANDA LOVELACE

over the decades,

her books became

such a part

of her

that

the ink

somehow escaped 

her veins

& bloomed

her favourite 

words & images

onto her skin.

now

the world

would have

no doubt:

she

was the

pagebound

girl. 

- page to skin

SAD BIRDS STILL SING BY FARAWAY

I need less time alone

It's too draining, having

4am thoughts all day long.

You see, sometimes,

casual conversation is

what keeps us sane.

- talk to me about the weather

LOVE HER WILD BY ATTICUS

We

are

never

alone

we are

wolves

howling

to the

same moon.
