Poetry Corner News
I've come to the conclusion that Watersandthewild's poetry is just so good I'd buy the book - if there was one! Here are two of the most recent, each took my mind on a journey and both journeys were completely different. The first poem is like a wedge, starting with some gentle truths at the wide part then coming to a swift sharp point at the endThe second by contrast is sad and nostalgic and has a duality in the words that I love, what do you see in these finely spun words? I read it aloud the second time I went over it and could imagine this fisherman reciting it loudly over a bar of rough working men, their mouths open in awe at the pointed lines.
Some folks here might think I am Waters fan club!
I suspect though he has many fans who along with the envious can't help stopping by his magical poems to soak up his unique perspective of life and the atmosphere that his poetry creates. By contrast here is a new poster and yes she's also Irish, what can I say we're a land of 'Saints and Scholars' and we're lucky enough to have some interesting scholars here
This lady goes under the profile name of Serenity4two and if her poetry is autobiographical she's a woman I'd love to meet just to shake her hand. It's seldom I come across amazing poetry and even more seldom I come across poetry that seems truly from the heart and brings with it love and understanding enough to make me stop and think about how do I measure up as a human to this person? Finally, here is a lady I absolutely adore as she is both gutsy, kind and very real. Many bloggers already know Redex and she had a problem with writer's block for a while regarding poetry. Since the writer's block has gone her poetry has just soared in it's quality. Read this if you will and try not to smile as you reach the final lines - I smiled and felt it was a few moments of my life well spent.
I'm picky about how I chose to spend my life's moments, for instance a bunch of women discussing a random neighbour's shortcomings is definitely 10 minutes or so of my life that I consider I've just wasted.
Love and light and sleep tight

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I can make this rhyme
But that's all I can do
