To Friendship, Gratitude, and Strictest Love. To understand poetry at all requires the ability to get to a good, sufficient intellectual answer for why the poet would put something a certain way, but to understand Rupi Kaur, the reader will need to do another thing too, which is to take each poem seriously and slowly, to let the words steep until other, deeper interpretations come out. Her book is divided into four different parts- the hurting, the loving, the breaking, and the healing- and each. Her writing is exquisite and every thought and idea she attempts to portray is depicted perfectly. While every day like this may Sacred prove Or make you reread it again and again Rupi Kaur's 'Milk and Honey' is by far the most inspirational book of poetry I have read. Whose Love is strongest, or whose Bliss is most.īut what shall with new bonds their Souls endear Īnd may they count the hours as they pass,īy their own Joys, and not by Sun or Glass: Rupi Kaur constantly embraces growth, and in home body, she walks readers through a reflective and intimate journey visiting the past, the present, and the potential of the self. Who most Affection or most Peace engrost Involv’d and growing, that we may not know Where mirth is justly grounded these wild toyesĪnd that strong Happiness may she still findĪnd may she know no Grief but in the name. Which help not Joy, but Ostentation yield. Who crown the cup, then think they crown the day. We will not like those men our offerings pay No one but Night, with tears on her dark face,įrom the sun and her flowers by Rupi Kaur Small chance, however, in a storm so black,Ī man will leave his friendly fire and snugįor a drowned woman’s sake, and bring her back She could advise you, should you care to hear. Whose voice alone, whose pitiful breath brought near,Ĭould thaw these nostrils and unlock this hand, There to be fretted by the drag and shoveĪt the tide’s edge, I lie-these things and more: How drowned in love and weedily washed ashore, Night is my sister, and how deep in love, “ One Sister have I in our house ” by Emily Dickinson She became popular on Instagram and Tumblr through sharing her short visual poetry. To celebrate this beautiful bond, here are six poems that explore and embrace the love between sisters.įrom Goblin Market and Other Poems by Christina Rossetti Canadian poet, illustrator, and author Rupi Kaur was born in India in 1992 and moved to Canada four years later. Sisters help to shape the women we are today. From the sun and her flowers by Rupi Kaur it isn’t blood that makes you my sister it’s how you understand my heart as though you carry it in your body To My Sister by William Wordsworth It is the first mild day of March: Each minute sweeter than before, The Redbreast sings from the tall larch That stands beside our door. Often times close friends can take on the role of sister and provide us with the wisdom, closeness, and trust we associate with siblings. And it doesn’t always have to be defined by blood. Sisterhood is one of the most important relationships one can have in their lifetime. There is nothing like the unbreakable and loving bond between sisters.
