Love: Poems to Bolster Every Heart That Ever Beat by Donna Ashworth
4.0
I have read this book, along with 2 others Life and Loss as a poetry collection and have reviewed them together so this review will appear duplicated for the other 2 books
LOVE, LIFE, LOSS
Today I’m reviewing a poetry collection by Donna Ashworth. Three books Love, Life and Loss. I’ve been dipping in and out of these for the last week and I have to say I’ve loved them all. Love is full of words to remind us of the love in our lives, where it can be found, that it is powerful and so so important. Life covers just that, beginnings, endings, age, all sorts really and it’s been wonderful to sit at the end of the day and read one of these, they bring a sense of peace on the hamster wheel that is Life. Loss was a harder read for me and I have not yet read all of this collection. There are poems for loss in all its forms, I have particularly found solace in ‘There will always be loss’, simple words that speak loud and at the right time are always good.
I will share a little spark of joy for me from Love:
Frosting
Love can arrive
wearing many a disguise
but never
does it look
like and expensive gift
or a romantic weekend
for two.
That’s just frosting.
You’re far more likely
to find real love
in a cup of tea
made just for you
exactly the way you like it.
This this is my love, wrapped up in a cup of tea, you know who you are.
Thank you Donna Ashworth for your words, powerful, truthful and long lasting.
