A little, tiny volume of poems I'm looking at currently is The Love Poems of James Laughlin. Very swoon-worhty, this volume! I've always liked Valentine's Day. A day to express love is one of the sweetest things. But I believe every day is love's holiday, or at least it can be in our hearts. :o) Sending you much LOVE this Valentine's Week, my friend ((HUGS))Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-55693370471310952162012-02-13T00:04:00.470-05:002012-02-13T00:04:00.470-05:00Thanks for sharing these lovely poems.

As for the poems, guess I'm tending more to the German, even more so than Dutch as that is our upbringing. German poetry is so lovely but of course not for the English speaking. Those things are hard to mingle with over two continents.<br /><br />Love to you and stay warm and cozy!<br /><br />MarietteMariettes Back to Basicshttp://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-18308456521929473612012-02-12T22:37:59.829-05:002012-02-12T22:37:59.829-05:00I too prefer the sweet everyday sentiments and not...I too prefer the sweet everyday sentiments and not just on this 14th day of February. The poems that you have listed are wonderful and ones that I have read on many occasions. Steff and I were in one of my fave very small independent bookstores today, reading some gorgeous words from Pablo Neruda. Happy days, sweet friend! xxooCathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13514685526355525209noreply@blogger.com
