I read the poem Counting the Beats by Robert Graves. I really enjoyed this poem, I find it to be romantic and it makes a person stop and think about their lover. This poem is about a man and a woman who are "counting the slow heartbeats" of each other while laying under the open sky and enjoying the moment together. They don't want to stop and think of anything else, they just enjoy the peace with each other and want to focus only on that. The stanza I find most important is:
Not there but here,
(He whispers) only here,
As we are, here, together, now and here,
Always you and I.
I think that this stanza shows the connection the two people have to each other and it makes the reader have a feel good moment. I think this poem is great for those bad days because it will lift your spirits and make you feel better.
