It's hard to explain what it is I like about it. I like way it sounds or rather flows. I like how simple and yet complex poetry can be. Maybe it comes from my love of music and songs.<br /><br />I don't know if you've started reading to your daughter yet, but you'll find a lot of the young children's books are written in a style reminiscent of poetry. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-33553854154249533252016-01-12T14:45:36.583-08:002016-01-12T14:45:36.583-08:00Iliana - I hope you enjoy this collection if you d...Iliana - I hope you enjoy this collection if you do read it.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-43449474866025808242016-01-12T14:35:32.132-08:002016-01-12T14:35:32.132-08:00I should someday just bite the bullet and read a p...I should someday just bite the bullet and read a poetry book.

It was such fun to read, even as sad as it was at times.<br /><br />I admit I probably wouldn't have picked this up on my own, but I am glad I took a chance on it.
