Dizzy In Your Eyes: Poems About Love by Pat Mora

Dizzy In Your Eyes: Poems About Love by Pat Mora, 165 pages

Dizzy In Your Eyes is a collection of fifty poems about love. I found some of the poems to be sad and others touching.  I especially liked the one on page 111 about sisters.  This book touches on all the emotions that go along with love, both joy and pain.  The author also includes on the bottom of some of the pages types of poems and the tempo they are written in.
