I didn't think I was going to like this much, for I somewhat have lost my passion and love for poetry. But there was something about borrowing my sister's book, reading it in her room to the words of the Bronte sisters that were so melancholic, especially when they were written about each other's deaths.
My heart ached when I read Charlotte's poems dedicated to her younger sisters Emily and Anne who died before her. Those two were my favourites from her.
I loved Emily's poems the most, though. They were by far the most relatable to me. I particularly enjoyed Hope, Stanzas and Rememberance, in that order.
Anne's poems had more of the flavour of nature's beauty, and they reminded me of some of the poems I used to write. The Bluebell and Self-Congratulations were my favourites from her.
All three sisters typically wrote melancholic poetry and these were the words they commonly used in their art: drear, weary, woe, despair and misery. I understand why they wrote such emotional poems, but I have to say, they do speak my language.
