"Compiled in the thirteenth century, the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu is one of Japan's most quoted and illustrated works, as influential to the development of Japanese literary traditions as The Tale of Genji and The Tales of Ise. The text is an anthology of one hundred waka poems, each written by a different poet from the seventh century to the middle of the thirteenth, which is when Fujiwara no Teika, a renowned poet and scholar, assembled and edited the collection. The book features poems by high-ranking court officials and members of the imperial family, and each is composed in the waka form of five lines with five syllables in the first and third lines and seven syllables in the second, fourth, and fifth (waka is a precursor of haiku). Despite their similarity in composition, these poems evoke a wide range of emotions and imagery, and touch on themes as varied as frost settling on a bridge of magpie wings and the continuity of the imperial line."--BOOK JACKET.

An Old Sweetheart of Mine is a poem by James Whitcomb Riley, an American writer, poet, and best-selling author. The poem is dedicated to Rile's first love, a girl he met at school, and about their school-time romance that grew in the marriage and happy life together. Each book page presents a separate piece of a romantic poem telling about a particular period or event in the poet's memory. It is a great poetic work about the flow of time and the transformation of love through the years of routine life.
