Sweet Love Dead

So I decided to change the name of my blog from 'Sweet Love Dead' to 'Who is Garrett' (which I totally stole from Keren). There is no real reason except that I am an impulsive person. Many people always asked what did the title mean and I responded that it was the end of a poem and it made me happy. As a stand alone title many of my close friends told me it came off 'emo' (Luke, Catherine, Javier, Alanna), I hope this one appeases your sensibility more than the last. In parting with my old shell I wanted to share with you the poem that it originates from.

An Evening by Gwendolyn Brooks

A sunset's mounded cloud;

A diamond evening-star;

Sad blue hills afar;

Love in his shroud.

Scarcely a tear to shed;

Hardly a word to say;

The end of a summer day;

Sweet Love dead.
