Poetry by Paula Coelho


I have always had a love for poetry. I wrote a series of poems when I was in high school that I am very proud of. When looking for a book or magazine of some sort to read in class during the mornings I went to Hastings. After asking an employee if they had any reading materials in Spanish she took me to one small shelf. After only seeing about 10 books, I became nervous that I wasn't going to find anything that interested me. Then luckily I stumbled upon a book of love poems by Paulo Coelho. This man is an amazing poet. His book is called Amor and has many collections of his work. Not only was this book filled with astounding poetry but also very unique art. I enjoy reading from this book every day. Here is a little taste of Paulo's work. Enjoy!

Anotaciones en los aeropuertos

El amor no es grande ni pequeno; es simplemente amor.
No se puede medir un sentimiento como se mide una carretera.
Si lo haces, empezaras a comparar con lo que te dicen,
o con lo que esperas encontrar.
De esa manera, estaras siempre escuchando una historia
en vez de recorrer tu propio camino.
