In addition to reading novels, I spend quite a lot of time reading poems both young and old. Here’s me sharing three of my favourite poems!
Mirror- Sylvia Plath
In this poem, the narrator is a mirror, exploring it’s own fears by seeing whatever it is inside of her, through her. Confusing? Yes. Brilliant when you grasp it? Undeniable yes!
Bluebird- Charles Bukowski
Dark, nihilistic, lucid and yet handling every complex human idea- this poem speaks out the bitter truth without sugar coating it. And yet it is more metaphorical than Augustus Waters. A perfect blend for cynical teenagers wanting to read beautiful pieces
London- William Blake
Industrial Revolution period London is highly glorified in the pages of history. It was a supposedly ‘socially forward’ region progressing economically. Here’s Blake taking a stroll through the streets describing industrial London in its truest form.

OH MY GOSHHH AKSHITA I LOVE THIS!! i dont read poems often (ONLY THE ONES FOR LITERATURE LESSONS ACTUALLY. but i’m in the habit of getting slightly obsessed with them AND SOMETIMES GIVE UP STUDYING THE OTHER SUBJECTS JUST TO REREAD THEM FOR THE 7376333TH TIME???) but all of these sound PHENOMENAL, EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO DEVOUR THEM and LOVED READING YOUR THOUGHTS SO MUCH!!

Play with a Touch of Van Gogh
Madness in the Precipice of Hell
