"She lives the poetry she cannot write." — Oscar Wilde

We all need some poetry in our lives....here are some of mine and other wants on a wishlist....

This book has beautiful poetry and captures the love that the Arabs had for Andaluisa in Spain, the poems are of love, wine (they clearly had fun in Spain it seems!), of battles and  dreams and sadness when they were banished.

This poetry book is a gem, it contains poems that can make you think deeply and there are discussions about the poems too. Maybe they won't change your life but they highlight how powerful and great poetry can be.

Wishlist:

Monica Vinader Siren ring.  The ring to go with me day to day, simple classic, matches work attire.

Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi

A book to read for the next book club meeting, fingers crossed I can make it - no train delays or any other spanners in the works!

Wool skirt by Cos- perfect to match with blouses, shirts and tops, no?

A note:

I used to be mildly allergic to pears but after giving it a chance after several years- I tried one  in Naples, Italy - hurrah !! Just goes to show never say never and that travels can make one subconsiously bold to try things!
