different attitudes towards love; I have selected four poems that consider this issue and show the poets true thoughts on love. Two of my texts‚ ‘Leaving Prince Charming Behind‚’ written by Karlo Mila and ‘Advice to a discarded Lover‚’ written by Fleur Adcock‚ both look at the theme of love and past relationships in a negative and quite a depressing manner.

realized that there exist differences between the same unconditional loves. As the proverb goes‚ mother love is water-like while father love is mountain-like. In terms ofdaily caring‚ it is undeniable that mother’s love is far more sensitive than father’s. In my case it is obvious in the content of their caring behavior. When I still lived at home before college‚ I even can’t imagine how she memorized so many details for me for years on end. I loved semi-raw egg so she steamed an egg for exactly fifty
