• Not much for #poetry but I keep seeing posts about #poetrymatters and I'm trying to broaden my horizons. I'm not going to set any more challenges but hope to read from this book throughout the spring. I really like this poem by Dorothy Parker. Short and sweet and true (at least in my experience) but there's always the hope of something more than this in life •

I recently lost my mother and have been having a very hard time lately. A great friend sent me this wonderful book. Can‘t wait to start reading! Poetry can be so very healing. 💕
so-soI picked up this one because poetry was one of the genres for a challenge in a book club I'm in. Poetry is just usually not my cup of tea to be honest but I liked some of them in this collection. I liked how they were separated into their different categories like love, friendship, and motherhood. My favorite section was the last one titled How To Live.
pickI picked this book up initially because on the day that Mary Oliver passed away, a friend of mine posted one of her poems. I'd never heard of Oliver and I loved the poem. When I found out that there were a couple of Mary Oliver's poems in "She Walks In Beauty", I decided to give poetry a shot. I'm still not a huge fan, but some of the poems definitely stuck with me!
I've never really been big into poetry. How many of you love it? Are men reading it or is it mostly women?
When you're less than halfway through a book of poetry (tagged book), your book club just started a new novel, and your library hold came in all at the same time, it's time to cuddle with this fuzzball and get in some reading. 💖💖💖 #catsoflitsy #crazycatlady #bookwormforlife

“I don‘t want to be near you
for the thoughts we share
but the words we never have
to speak”
I didn't get the chance to go to a bookstore today but I did go visit my girlfriend at her work , she is a school librarian. I love looking at all the books there and I also take some 😂😂 #booksandshelfiesm18
For a book with a flower on the cover, how about a book of poems since I'm really into poetry lately? #marchinbooks #happinessresistance #booktherapy
Picked this up as one of the books for my #cupidgoespostal match —- it might not make it into the box! 😳 Sorry match.
This #poem speaks to me: “weaponed woman” by #GwendolynBrooks 💪🏼

Thanks to @DeborahSmall for the formatting idea- hope it's ok I copied you! Please take as compliment!
pickThis book... this book started as part of my engagement to my wonderful husband. He took me to Barnes and Noble to show me a book he thought I would like. I picked it up and when I looked inside, there was my engagement ring, flower petals, and him on one knee. One of my greatest moments ever. So, fast forward 3 years later, I finally read the book. So full of great advice, poems that made me laugh, poems that made me cry. One of my absolute faves

Surprised how very few pink covers I own; in fact pink does not extend much onto these covers. Lots of shades of red, orange...
#whereiread #riotgrams this is my reading chair I usually read in. If I'm not in this chair I'm in my recliner.
Got this in the mail today!!! So excited about this book! #poetry #bookmail #ilovebooks #readinghallenge
My apologies for not posting a poem yesterday. What appeared to be a family crisis was unfolding, and I had to deal with it. It continued today, topped off by a tooth extraction. Things have calmed down, but I'm a little rattled. This poem by Emily Bronte fits my mood. #LitsyPoetry365
'What's That Smell in the Kitchen' by Marge Piercy #LitsyPoetry365
This is from an anthology whose poems were selected by Caroline Kennedy. She focuses on poetry that speaks to various aspects of womanhood. This poem was inspired by a letter written in 1934 on a topic that is still relevant today. #LitsyPoetry365
