To be young and in love by Kuo Kenih
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Poetry
Give yourself
Love and see how
It spreads.
You were not
Born for him
You were born
For the world.
She did not let
Her past define her present
Nor the future
A short book of poetry directed toward girls between ages of 16 and 25. Very simple haikus about broken hearts, moving on, and healing. For myself as an adult woman, they were just okay. The language is very basic and lacking substance. A few I really liked and connected with. For me, the ones about loving yourself were my favorite. As a whole though, I could see a younger girl really identifying with them and maybe even finding solace in them.
