Poetry Playlist #3

Hi, everyone! 
I wish you healthy & happy. It was such a long time since I posted the second volume of Poetry Playlist. Today I want to share some poem I recently read in repeat: A Toast from Ilya Kaminsky (Ilya is my personal delight in my twitter timeline), In the gloaming in the roiling night by Ruth Awad, Instructions on Not Giving Up by Ada Limon, & Blossom by Dorianne Laux.

This is spring, may your worry-bud grow into flowers.


Here are the lists and link. Please enjoy. :)

1. A Toast, by Ilya Kaminsky 
2. In the gloaming, in the roiling night, by Ruth Awad
3. Instructions on Not Giving Up, by Ada Limon
4. Blossom, by Dorianne Laux

Bless each thing on earth until it sickens, / until each ungovernable heart admits: "I confused myself /and yet I forgot — and what I loved/ I forgot, what I forgot brought glory to my travels, / to you I traveled as close as I dared, Lord."

- A Toast by Ilya Kaminsky
