“With all of my heart, I believe it is true that there is a heaven for animals too.”
“You‘ll grow older, I will, too. But when you meet your friends again, they‘ll see you as they saw you then.
And you‘ll find they always knew how much they were loved…and how much they loved you.”
(I really hope so.)

Iconic Poe. Loved the rhythm and the feel of this one so much.

“The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.”

I paused reading in May 2018 after getting to some "problematic" poems (I posted about that at the time if you scroll a bit down the book profile, and @vivastory gave me some useful insights). I put it back on the shelf to see if I needed a bit of distance to return to it, but, no: clocking it today gave me a negative reaction, so I'm #deshelving.
pickCute little video with someone reading the book. So we read it together. #ISpyBingoJune. @TheAromaofBooks
pick5⭐️ this is not your typical Neil Gaiman and read. But that doesn‘t take away from this at all. This is super short, and the thought put behind writing this poem is just as beautiful as the poem was itself. If you have five minutes, pick up this book. I checked it out for free on hoopla.
pickWhat a beautiful collection of poems!
Going into this, I was only vaguely familiar with Rumi and his poetry. I was always curious about his work and I‘m happy I finally read it.
I love that the translator gave a ton of context to the poems. The book opens with notes on the transliteration, Rumi‘s life, and on the poems.

That morning I heard water being poured into a teapot.
The sound was an ordinary, daily, cluffy sound.
But all at once I knew you loved me.
An unheard-of thing, love audible in water falling.
#LoveQuote in The Teapot, #poem by Robert Bly. I used to use his #poetry for discussion when I taught Interpersonal Communication. Always lots to talk about with "The Other Imperfect Bird." #FeelintheLove @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs
