Verses

"Verses" by Susan Coolidge is a compilation of poems that echo from the late 1800s, where you'll discover common themes of affection, bereavement, and nature all interwoven within a lyrical narrative. It's kind of like the author is holding a mirror up to the world showing not just the pretty parts, but also the bittersweet ones, like growing up and saying goodbye. It kicks off by acknowledging two cherished friends with praises and showcasing a bond created from affection. Then setting the stage with an introduction, the author shows that poems are like gifts from above, blending genuine feelings to set the stage with reverence for the literary process. The poems then touch on serious ideas, reminding us all that time keeps moving, and even though there's happiness and sadness, love sticks around.
