Sure, some of these poems are forgettable and pretentious and not that great, but there are so many amazing and gorgeous poems. I love that this collection is divided into three sections: Love, "She was afraid of heights, but she was much more afraid of never flying. Love, Her, and Wild. The first section has poems all centered around love, the second section is all poems about a girl and all include the word 'her' or 'she', and then the last section 'wild' includes poems about life and youth and everything else.
This collection features some truly stunning black and white photography that fits the mood of the poems so well. I know a lot of people probably don't like these poems because some of them are so simple and basic, but I really enjoyed almost all of them. In the goodreads description this book is said to have the most "tattoo-able" quotes which is something I definitely agree with. I definitely feel the urge to tattoo half of these poems.
There are so many gorgeous quotes about love and life and youth, you really just have to read it for yourself to know, but here are some of my favorites: Definitely my favorite collection of poetry I've read so far; these poems really made me feel. Jan 22, Nat K rated it it was amazing Shelves: What a stunning collection of poems. This book made feel like I was sitting on a beach, soft sand underfoot and a delightful sea breeze caressing my face. Combined with the photography, this is visually beautiful. Yes, the poems are short. Read a book of poetry and bring some poetry into your life.

Taken as a large group like this is, and listening to them, is just not the way they are meant to be consumed. In this format they don't feel like poems, but idealistic thoughts.
I would classify them as greeting card poetry. And delivered in a bit of a Jack Handy voice, it lacks the sweetness of the graphical representation. Here's an example of a longer one: It might be that I'm just too damn old. But I've liked the book versions of other social media poets, so I'm not sure that's it exactly. Maybe I'm too deep. This title is now available. Apr 28, Clumsy Storyteller rated it liked it Shelves: Poetry to me is stumbling in the dark searching for the right words to describe the feeling I get when she smiles while she sleeps.
I loved this book of poems. Definitely going to be reading this one again soon. Aug 13, anna rated it did not like it. Jul 14, Julia Sapphire rated it really liked it Shelves: I tabbed so many quotes and thought that it was a wonderful collection that I would for sure recommend to others.
You guys know that I read a lot of mental health novels and poetry. So if I see something I have to call it out, even though it seemed small this quote bothered me: It is important for everyone to know that if you are struggling from a mental illness, that a significant other will NOT solve ALL your problems. It just irked me how this short poem turns down therapy and drugs which is an important part in recover for people who suffer. You can't just stop going to treatment because you have a significant other, like no! That one poem is why I can't give this collection a full five stars which may seem silly but I would not be who I am if I didn't mention something like that.
For the record though,the collection than says things like: For the majority this book is filled with beautiful poems and art. It does show female empowerment as times which I always love to see. My little rant makes me sound like I hated this but I really didn't. Aside from my issue with that one poem, this could have been a five star read for me. Nonetheless, I would still highly recommend this as a beautiful poetry collection.
Jul 06, Patty rated it it was amazing Shelves: I have so many tabs in my arc, so many of these poems resonated with me. Dec 24, ellie rated it it was ok Shelves: Sometimes I want a quiet life other times I want to go a little bit fucking Gatsby. Youth came over me like a mad storm. I was helpless to the chemicals roaring in my brain. We are astrologers of bodies and mind searching for truths in each other's stars.
Poetry's magic is that it is found when it's needed. Love Her Wild is full of short but nice poems that are complemented by pictures. Though not my favourite poetry book, it was still very enjoyable. Aug 25, Alison rated it it was ok Shelves: Honestly don't know why I keep doing this to myself. I know I don't like modern poetry, but damn does the aesthetic of these collections get me every time.
Every time I pick up one of these collections, it's like reading tumblr posts that have been regurgitated over and over again. None of it seems all that original or was all that inspiring. Plus, this collection had photography, but I don't wanna know how much they spent on StockPhoto because they all seemed like things I've seen before? There Honestly don't know why I keep doing this to myself. There were a few poems that sparked my interest or I felt I could get behind. The rest were just so-so and I hate saying that about poetry, but I know it's MY taste that makes me dislike this, not because it might not be good.
This book is a collection of what I'm going to call "Modern Poetry". Think Milk and Honey, and others of that ilk. I feel this is more of a collection of meaningful phrases and sentiments rather than traditional poetry. In saying that, I did really enjoy this for what it is. The poems are beautiful, evocative and full of soul.
The book itself is delightfully presented, being interspersed with gorgeous, moody, photography among the sentiments, which complimented the feel of this collection perfec This book is a collection of what I'm going to call "Modern Poetry".

My favourite; Daughter of mine- for your smiles, for your skinned knees, and for your broken hearts, for the love you give, and the love you find. For whatever you become, or don't, it is far too late, I love you already, long before we ever meet. Feb 09, Katherine rated it did not like it Shelves: View all 7 comments.

The 10 best love poems
A few are sad or angry. All of them are beautiful. All of them are about love. You are a ukulele beyond my microphone You are a Yukon beyond my Micronesia You are a union beyond my meiosis You are a unicycle beyond my migration You are a universe beyond my mitochondria You are a Eucharist beyond my Miles Davis You are a euphony beyond my myocardiogram You are a unicorn beyond my Minotaur You are a eureka beyond my maitai You are a Yuletide beyond my minesweeper You are a euphemism beyond my myna bird. Which checks the insurance, and doesnt forget The milkman; which remembers to plant bulbs;.
And maintenance is the sensible side of love, Which knows what time and weather are doing To my brickwork; insulates my faulty wiring; Laughs at my dryrotten jokes; remembers My need for gloss and grouting; which keeps My suspect edifice upright in air, As Atlas did the sky. When you come to me, unbidden, Beckoning me To long-ago rooms, Where memories lie.
Offering me, as to a child, an attic, Gatherings of days too few. Baubles of stolen kisses.
Trinkets of borrowed loves. Trunks of secret words,. A post shared by Christopher Poindexter christopherpoindexter on Dec 7, at What was that sound that came in on the dark? What is this maze of light it leaves us in? What is this stance we take, To turn away and then turn back?
What did we hear? I think I was searching for treasures or stones in the clearest of pools when your face…. I came to you one rainless August night. You taught me how to live without the rain. You are thirst and thirst is all I know. You are sand, wind, sun, and burning sky, The hottest blue. You blow a breeze and brand Your breath into my mouth. You reach—then bend Your force, to break, blow, burn, and make me new. You wrap your name tight around my ribs And keep me warm. I was born for you. Above, below, by you, by you surrounded. I wake to you at dawn.
Never break your Knot. Salva, traga, Break me, I am bread. I will be the water for your thirst. This sounds wonderful to everyone who suffers from lacking, but consider, too, that a ravine keeps nothing out:. I have an easygoing way about me. Her body is not so white as anemone petals nor so smooth—nor so remote a thing. It is a field of the wild carrot taking thefield by force; the grass does not raise above it. Here is no question of whiteness, white as can be, with a purple mole at the center of each flower. Wherever his hand has lain there is a tiny purple blossom under his touch to which the fibres of her being stem one by one, each to its end, until the whole field is a white desire, empty, a single stem, a cluster, flower by flower, a pious wish to whiteness gone over— or nothing.
I love you as a sheriff searches for a walnut That will solve a murder case unsolved for years Because the murderer left it in the snow beside a window Through which he saw her head, connecting with Her shoulders by a neck, and laid a red Roof in her heart. For this we live a thousand years; For this we love, and we live because we love, we are not Inside a bottle, thank goodness!
I love you as the sunlight leads the prow Of a ship which sails From Hartford to Miami, and I love you Best at dawn, when even before I am awake the sun Receives me in the questions which you always pose. Sometimes she is like sherry, like the sun through a vessel of glass, Like light through an oriel window in a room of yellow wood; Sometimes she is the colour of lions, of sand in the fire of noon, Sometimes as bruised with shadows as the afternoon.
Sometimes she moves like rivers, sometimes like trees; Or tranced and fixed like South Pole silences; Sometimes she is beauty, sometimes fury, sometimes neither, Sometimes nothing, drained of meaning, null as water.
