Review of The Nation's Favourite Poems - Griff Rhys Jones

LOVE POEM

Advantages: Just a poem
Disadvantages: You may not like it.

I got Ciao to put this category because there are loads of wonderful writers out there, and not enough poetry categories. Hope to see loads of poems soon.. Were I to chose a place to be A place that really suited me I'd chose to walk the path you walk To talk the words we always talk To hold your hand, to feel your smile to kiss you at the kissing stile. Yes, why should anything improve, When what we feel is human love. Your eyes, transparent to my own, Cloak nothing, you are not alone, Your arms are strong, your lips so kind, And if I stay you will not mind That even though the days go by We never have to question why. Just be there in this place and time, That merits such a simple rhyme, Close as two people can achieve, I know that I shall never leave, And in each thing I chose to do, Will always stay here ...

Disadvantages: a few really terrible poems!

I chose this book when I won a prize at school for something (being brilliant probably, lol) a couple of years ago. I've never really been huge on owning books - I own a perfectly good library card - but I like poems and felt maybe I could do with some help getting through the day and night so I thought this would be a good choice. This book describes itself as 'A survival kit for modern life'. If you believed its editor, Daisy Goodwin, youd think it was full of ready-made miracle cures to magically solve all your everyday problems. Get real, surely none of us are that naïve, but what this book does provide is a selection of poems old and new for every occasion, featuring famous poets and introducing not ...
