Rupi Kaur is an Indian-born Canadian poet and author. Her works have been at the forefront of Instapoetry: a new genre of social-media-centered, short, and easily accessible poetry. The Sun and Her Flowers is her second collection of poetry, released in 2017. She writes poetry then draws a picture to go with it, as a form of artistic expression. This poem, like every other one of her series revolves around the idea of love. Both in the form of self love, and a romantic relationship type of love. This poem in particular focuses on what could’ve been built had she had stayed in a particular relationship. This represents the theme of love as it is something that is built, or even can build things.
