Review: Lullabies

Lullabies by Lang Leav

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



"You were the one
I wanted most
to stay.

But tim could not
be kept at bay.

The more it goes,
the more it's gone --
the more it takes away."

When I first heard that Lang Leav is releasing another book I just can't help but hear angels singing in my ears because that is just so friggin' amazing! I absolutely loved Love & Misadventure and hear I am now, loving ever bit and page of Lullabies! Did I mention that Lang Leav is having a book signing tour here in the Philippines??? No? Then now you know that she's coming back here for another book signing event on December! I wasn't able to join the event the last time she was here for Love & Misadventure book signing. Well, I'm not gonna miss the chance to meet and greet the poem goddess that I really adore.

Going back to the book, Lullabies is a-plus-mazing. The words. The emotions. So raw and true I can't help but mark every page a favorite. Leav's poems were simple (in the sense that no heavy words were really used) yet they stab the heart with every beautifully strung word. I am no expert in writing but Leav continues to inspire me to try and try and try.

I don't particularly expect to forget any of Leav's poems. I have and will cling and hang on to them for the rest of my life.
