All of these poems bring much beauty to me eyes and joy to me heart Far quel vanwen
I thank you Stargazer for your compliments, and I am sure Elspeth, barddas, and castlehigh (and others) thank you as well (since a few of their poems are posted here too).
I am glad our words and imagery touched your heart---In my poetry, this is my aim, because I was moved deeply to express into words what I was feeling or experiencing at the time.
Please feel free to post a poem or prose of your own.
Regards, Roisin

The way Herbert Groenemeyer
I cannot see anymore Don't trust my eyes anymore Can hardly believe Feelings have turned I am much too inert to give up It would be much too early as well Because something always goes
We were banded together Would have died for each other Have bent rain Have lent trust to each other We have tried to turn at schuss Nothing was too late But much was too early
We have pushed us Through all tides Have frittered away Have loved us desperately We have denied truth as much as we could It was a piece of heaven That you are there
You have flooded every room With sun Have reversed every sorrow Nordic, noble your gentle kindness Your unruly pride Life is not fair
Have danced the movie In a silver room Have gazed at eternity From the golden arch Completely lost, delirious And everything was allowed Together in quick motion midsummer Nights Dream
You have flooded every room With sun Have reversed every sorrow Nordic, noble your gentle kindness Your unruly pride Life is not fair
Your firm walk Your true poems Your cheerful warmth Your unswerving skill You have defied fate Have never betrayed Your plan of fortune Your plan of fortune
I don't go away Have extended my time New time travel Open world Have you certain in my soul I carry you with me Until the curtain falls I carry you with me Until the curtain falls
Music is holy, art is sacred, and creativity is power

Some men are drawn to oceans, they cannot breathe unless the air is scented with a salty mist. Others are drawn to land that is flat, and the air is sullen and is leaden as August. My people were drawn to mountains- Earl Hamner Jr.

Patti,
I see from your signature that you've tried your hand at the quill. Now it is your turn to pen to paper and write a few of your own verses... Come on share a few stanzas!
