Another delight from Bookninja :
poignant: Something you read may affect you, or move you. That doesn't mean it's poignant. Something is poignant when it's keenly, even painfully, affecting. When Bambi's mom dies an adult may think it poignant. A child probably finds it terrifying.

ReplyDeleteYes. Bambi's mom dying just made me mad. When I was a kid I wondered if my mom was going to die. I'm not sure I've ever recovered?
