Feelings:
This collection of poetry by Lang Leav was touching. Each poem was very short and concise. However, even though they were short they still carried a lot of wait. The poems spoke of love, and the adventures that come with it. The book was divided into three parts: Misadventure, The Circus of Sorrows, and Love. Each section looks at a different aspect of love.
I read the book in one sitting while I was waiting in a doctors office. Normally I would try and give a book more time that this but I just kept wanting to read more and I did have a rather long wait. While I did feel that some of the poems in the collection needed a second read, I found myself doing so immediately, they were mostly light and easy to take in. Even though the subject, love, isn't always pleasant the poems about loose were still deserving of second reads.
These poems will resonate with those that have been in a relationship and felt the ups and downs that go with it.
I highly recommend this collection as a short read. The poems are short but the style has much to offer the reader even in such a short space.
