My Poems

I'm not really a big fan of poems so it was slightly hard for me to find some I like, just because I really can't relate to the way these writers seem to put there feelings on paper. Two poems that I did like are When a Woman Loves a Man and Couple Sharing a Peach. When a Woman Loves a Man by: David Lehman is a little longer than I would have liked and some parts seemed kinda random and pointless but I liked all the cutesy things in this poem like:

"And when she says, “I’ll never speak to you again,”
she means, “Put your arms around me from behind
as I stand disconsolate at the window.”

To me, it seems like the author wrote this poem late one night while watching his lover sleep or while missing her. It shows some of the rough times when they have fought and broken up but that doesn't even seem to be that big major of a thing. It's more about the little things.

The second poem Couple Sharing a Peach by Molly Peacock was also about relationships although you might not really know that unless you found it under the relationship section like I did. I do like the part:

Two happinesses unfold
from one joy

In the end when the author writes:

In a hotel room
Our moment lies
With it’s ode inside,
a red tinge,
with a hinge.

This makes me think that the love they have just experiences is forbidden in one way or another. Either they are young and shouldn't be doing the things they are doing or they both are with other people.
