I'm dying (agreed, that's exaggeration!) to read her works as soon as possible. Hopefully I'll get my hands on a copy soon!
Meanwhile, here are few lines from her various poems.
Some men break your heart in two,
Some men fawn and flatter,
Some men never look at you;
And that cleans up the matter. By the time you swear you're his,
Shivering and sighing,
And he vows his passion is
Infinite, undying -
Lady, make a note of this:

Lady, make a note of this:
One of you is lying. Once, when I was young and true,
Someone left me sad-
Broke my brittle heart in two;
And that is very bad.
Love is for unlucky folk,
Love is but a curse.
Once there was a heart I broke;
And that, I think, is worse.

I've read few(really very few)of her poems previously in a review. and some more, from the link provided by you. Nice poetry. Innocent expressions weaved in intellegent articulation.
But at the same time i also felt that some aura of pessimism hides (or tries to hide) behind that ease and luxurious rhyming.
Nice poem to share
@murtyds: What a coincidence! There was a nice li'l chat about Kafka with my friend (on the day you commented) and end of it we came to a similar conclusion, "people have way with words, that even the meanest and harshest of thoughts sound good." :)
