At first they're few
The things I list
That I truly appreciate
But as time passes, the fondness grows
For each wrinkle, freckle, scrape
I've come to love
The aspects that used to make me frown
Each day I better understand
Why friends want me to stick around
Self-love grows
About the Creator

Book Review: "American Poetry: A Very Short Introduction" by David Caplan
Help me, I'm stuck in the Very Short Introduction series and I can't get out! No really, this is becoming the same problem I had a few years ago when I got my limbs caught in the British Library Crime Classics series and ended up reading almost 100 of those books in perhaps a few months. Now, I've managed to find one on American Poetry, I have to say it is probably one of my favourites so far. I mean The Beats is good, but American Poetry has Phillis Wheatley and Emily Dickinson so it is, by default, better. The writer doesn't only display his knowledge of American Poetic History, he also provides some historical accounts of the people who wrote them, commenting on where they fit into the greater American landscape.

But as time passes - fondness grows - the way it is suppose to be. Nicely Done!!
That's true love, when your respect for yourself because of the love of another. ⚡💙⚡
For each wrinkle, freckle, scrape, I've come to love. To know yourself and if you still love yourself - you are a winner. Well done!!
