Friday Poetry: Robert Graves

Happy Friday!

I hope everyone has some good plans for the weekend. I am still recovering so I imagine more reading will be happening.

My chosen poem this week is by Robert Graves (1895-1985).

Love at First Sight

'Love at first sight,' some say, misnaming
Discovery of twinned helplessness
Against the huge tug of procreation. 

But friendship at first sight? This also
Catches fiercely at the surprised heart
So that the cheek blanches and then blushes. 

Robert Graves

Happy Reading
