“you tell me to quiet down cause my opinions make me less beautiful but i was not made with a fire in my belly so i could be put out i was not made with a lightness on my tongue so i could be easy to swallow i was made heavy half blade and half silk difficult to forget and not easy for the mind to follow”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey
I love poetry and I very much enjoy reading story in verse form, it is a favorite of mine. This wonderful little book milk and honey is both and so much more. It is so very powerful and more than the words on the page. It makes you think. The book causes you to pause. Teaches you a lesson. Gives you insight and speaks in such a loud volume. I think poetry is a necessary prose for expressing oneself. To read it is a gift!
Peace.
