All of the girl blogs I read include poems fairly frequently. This one will too.
Generally, I like poems that:
1. Can be understood quickly
2. Are short.
3. Are about the big three Ls: Love, Loss, and Longing.
4. Use rhyme in some way (inc. half rhyme, assonance, consonance, alliteration etc.)
5. Are written in some kind of form (mostly)
6. Leave me feeling something
I don't have high brow poetry tastes. Even if you don't really get into poetry you should have give these ones a go.
welcome back simone.
ReplyDeleteperhaps an additonal small l for your big 3.
levity
the occasional poem that gets you smiling without even realising it.
