Status Updates From Haruko: Love Poems

A lot of the poems are starting to get quite lengthy and going over my head :/ not really evoking much of a feeling from me most of the time since I’m just missing the point altogether. Still finding a few interesting ones; I really should’ve marked them to know which ones I like (oops).

I’m enjoying Jordan’s poetry a fair bit more than the poets before, she has some lovely digestible poetry.

While she does run laps around my knowledge of vocabulary from time to time at the very least there’s stuff that I understand and enjoy!

Arvis keeps trying poetry. Saw this in Waterstones and thought it looked pretty neat so let’s see what it’s about.

Going in with very light optimism 😩 poetry is just too tough for me but I will keep trying

holy shit girl….girl holy shit 😍 wow girl holy shit girl

[Foreword]: These reflections on love reach through and out beyond the personal encounter toward a meaning perhaps best enclosed in the last poem in this book, and it goes.

I am a stranger
learning to worship the strangers
around me

whoever you are
whoever I may become

Rereading because I need some love
