Book Obsessions

Selected Poems of Christina Rossetti

For all those (kinda hopeful) melancholics out there! Sometimes I just get an urgent need to read a poem of Christina Rossetti's and I often find myself flipping to page 164 of this book to read "A Better Resurrection".

P.S. Made those pressed leaves as a bookmark when I was still in college.

Hei, sometimes I feel you. When I read the poetry, I hope can find melancholics out there. By the way, I have leaves like you as a bookmark my currently-reading book.

I upvote for you and please give feedback at my short poetry https://steemit.com/poetry/@anggreklestari/empty-heart-without-the-art-of-loving

Happy Steeming and have a great day.

Hey, glad we bumped into each other! Can you post some of your leaves? I really like the look of them. I even do small flowers I find that have fallen on the ground by my college. If you're new to steemit, I hope you join discord, you'll learn a lot from there. I'll check out your poetry, too. :)
Keep steeming! @anggreklestari

Nice, I love your passion for poetry, it's really something

Wish I had the talent for it but sometimes I find pieces that just say everything. lol

@genevieve.mfg this poem by rossetti is very powerful and deep, I must say!
To those heavy in heart and in spirit or melancholic, may God give you all comfort.
@genevieve.mfg how are you doing today?

STAY STEEMY MY FRIENDS ⚡

@udezee hi, good weather today and editing footage from my trip, overall I can’t complain. ;) How are you?

I'm good. Its gonna be a sunny one at my end.
I've kinda of missed you.
@genevieve.mfg you travel alot, due to Your Profession, humatirian works and happy editing.
I think I will always put you in my prayers, divine strength is needed to knock out complains, lolz😃

Spring is rolling in for us, glad you have better weather!
I travel at least once a year for a mission trip and it’s only volunteer. I still work but at the moment I’m in between jobs. Prayers for divine strength are always welcome tho. Let me know if you have any prayer requests! :)

Wow, i guess i will read this! Thanks for the post!

Thanks for checking it out. :)

I like poems but sometimes I can't understand them fully. Hopefully, this book is good. Thanks for sharing and love those pressed leaves!

Let me know if you find poems that speak to you. And thanks, I’ll show some of my pressed flowers next time. Just simple stuff tho.

Yes! Love pressed flowers the most!

@pam.afg poetry is the flower🌿 of writing 📝.

Too bad you have an isssssh in understanding them, haha, lolz😃

That's is sad for me. We could always learn though! Love that explaination too!
