This week’s Bookish Scene: Project 52 theme „Poetry“ is a dream for someone who loves poems just as much as I do. To express my raging passion for all the beautifully constructed verses in the world I put even more effort into my picture than usual and even used an artsy-fartsy black & white filter to make it look a bit more sophisticated. Feel free to search for a deeper meaning in my picture because who knows, maybe there’s a secret message? ;P

(Hint: I didn’t choose the books randomly ;D)

But seriously, there’s not a single thing about poetry that fascinates me, school has completely ruined it for me by forcing me to analyze the shit out of words that long-dead people wrote maybe even hundreds of years ago and I’m still convinced that a lot of those „great“ poets probably just were drunk all the time and didn’t even know what they were writing and now everybody is like „OH MY GOD THEIR POETRY IS SO DEEP, IT’S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING EVER“. I hated analyzing poetry in school even more than religious education and that already says A LOT about my relationship to poetry.
