Feelings Were So Intense 2

Streams 6 was the first Streams with an index of authors and subjects. According to the subject index, “love” was the second most cited subject.

Un Pintor by Santa R.

Un pinto puede pintar
Una rosa y un clavel
Pero no puede pintar
El amor de una mujer.
(p.64)

(An artist can paint
a rose and a carnation
but no cannot paint
the love of a woman.)

Students wrote valentines to girlfriends, mothers, and grandmothers. They also wrote of their jealousies, betrayals, and the blues. Pedro, in his poem “Incarcerated Valentine” wrote:

“I’m afraid that when I come out you won’t be there.”
(p.72)
