The Poet Laureate of the North Side...

Perhaps it's the alignment of the stars or maybe I'm just feeling lonely. Lately, I have been in quite a romantic mood. I find myself listening to love songs, reading poetry, choosing wine over my usual beer and burning candles. It's a little pathetic but I'm just being honest. It's all about love, right? There should be no shame in admitting these things. Here is a poem that I've cherished since I was a little girl. It's entitled "To Anthea" and it's by 17th century poet, Robert Herrick. It's pretty scandalous reading material for an 8-year-old but I was always ahead of my time ;)
