This book will always feel like coming home. Things no longer feel empty or hollow while lost in the pages of a story you swear you remember

It was okay. I like the concept though.

The setting, while I read the book the setting is vague but I can still see it without the book telling me, the setting is a high school themed book or a school-related one. The time is set in the time of the writer's high school years, the reasons why I think this is because poetry only speaks loud if it's from life experience. I could see this book change the setting by leading its story to a college setting or summer break setting.

10/2/2020 Poetry.
I chose the book because I like reading poetry.
The book I guess has two characters, one of them being the book writer Iain S. Thomas? and his highschool crush/girlfriend. It's hard to understand because the book gives hints and I think its also apart of multiple books also thinking this is the #4th book. So far into the book I am on page 14 the book talks about how much he loves this girl but his hands stop from being to close.

THE MOTHS DON‘T DIE FOR NOTHING

I‘m sure people just kiss each other. I‘m sure that sometimes you‘re talking and somehow two people move closer and closer to each other and then, they just kiss. I‘m sure it happens all the time. But I‘m also sure that a kiss is never just a kiss.

"THE LANTERN IN THE LIFEBOAT"

I am nervous. I‘m afraid. But I will stand

here in the white hot heat of you.

I will play Russian roulette with your playlists.

I will tell jokes I‘m not sure you‘ll find funny.

I will hold on until there is no more reason to. And in the end, I will break the stars and resurrect the sun.

They want me.
I want you.

Perhaps written before the craze of Instagram and tumblr poets (or maybe as a part of the latter), I Wrote This For You is a mix of poetry and photographs that those who like short bursts of poems will enjoy.

I‘d heard about this collection years ago and was always interested in reading it. I‘m glad I got a chance to if only to check it off my list. I liked a few of his longer poems, but as usual, I found I struggled with the short snippets.

I was excited about reading this at long last, having heard about it....I can‘t remember how, but alas, the poetry didn‘t really do it for me! I just felt they were a bit repetitive 😭

Finished this last week. It was alright, and there were a handful of lines that really spoke to me. But over all it was a bit lackluster. It didn't even feel like poetry most of the time, just rambling run on sentences.

I'm currently feeling overwhelmingly lost in a decision to remain in Florida for an undetermined amount of time while my boyfriend networks for a transfer...or move to Texas where my closest friends are welcoming me with opened arms, offering me a stable way to accomplish my ever present dream of leaving Florida. 🤢

One of the best things about having friends who also love to read is getting to raid their bookshelf and treat their collection as your own personal library. I was happy to visit a friends house last night and come away with this lovely book haul.

mrozzz Always nice!! I'm very interested in I Wrote This for You 👌🏻 (edited) 7y

In all honesty I hadn't even heard of these before today, but they came up when I did a GR search trying to find something for the prompt. 💩 Looked as good as any and managed to fit the bill for two of the challenges. I'm also kinda sorta curious now about both. 😂

This book apparently is interpreted differently from one person to the next and to me I will hold this dear. I couldn't stop reading until it was over and then I read through this backwards and then just read the titles individually.

This was hope and love and first love and first heart ache and basically life. This was despair and depression and yet there was no hate being preached. It's about love and forgiveness and learning to live.

Picked up this book on a whim while browsing the poetry section and wasn't pleased with it. It wasn't what I personally wanted from a poetry book.
There are at least five poems I enjoyed (out of at least 200), but the photography from Jon Ellis was the real highlight of this book. Very well shot.
However, the poems lack rhythm and sound. Most of them use apostrophe, and lack format. Uses sentimentality so often that it's almost appalling.

I really wanted to like this. Maybe I'd have enjoyed it better when I was younger, I don't know. Most of this just didn't jive with me. But, I'm glad I gave it a try anyway! There were a few good ones. ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

haileybean I'm a little bummed that a good chunk of poetry collections I've tried in the last couple of months have felt like I would have liked them A LOT better when I was younger. 7y
the.bookish.valkyrie @haileyhugsbooks Yeah, it makes me wonder if I've lost something, gained insights, or if it's just a case of mismatched poetry and reader... 7y

Really impressed with this poetry book my daughter chose. Would be great to incorporate some of these poems in class #teachersoflitsy #litsypoetry365
I've put the poems in the comments.

May I see the things in front of me as they are, not as I think them to be.
May I walk the steps ahead of me one at a time, not wondering if there‘s a map.
May I say the things that fix things, not break them further apart.
May I do what I need to do, not be distracted by what I can‘t.
May I dream of what I hope for, not of what I fear.

"I know you think you define me.
But each brush stroke thinks it‘s important when it‘s on the canvas and each brush stroke thinks that it‘s the last and that the painting will be done with the brush leaves the canvas again. But it isn‘t. You‘re just the shading. You are a dot. And I am the one holding the paintbrush."

Another set of poems and thoughts that have inspired and changed me for the better ❤️
