Today's poet

[Hes]

This must have been in '91 or '92 I think. I can't quite remember how I'd first heard of him. Anyway, the only one I listen to now regularly is Prospero's Books (Greenaway / Nyman again) but I think its about time I got them out again.

He came to popular attention because of The Piano but I like his work with Greenaway particularly.

She swings at the farm gate, lends an encouraging smile

Sits cosily on a wall, arms hugging legs, just watching

Leaning aside the old grey oak, half pretending to hide

Sat by the cairn, doesn’t even notice me, but at least she’s there

She stands on the fell; part of my landscape

At the door her face welcomes

She’d never left, but was always with me

She’d never left, but was always with me

How moving and heartfelt....well done HHH one of your best i think

This is lovely HHH.

One of his finest, and I love the title! Very apt for this spot...

Ohhh yes!!!! I feel like I have been totally spoilt tonight. Such wonderful poetry, music and it has been lovely sharing things with you all (I hope that doesn't sound too cheesy).

Ha ha ha...reckon he's down the pub getting his Inov8s dried off in front a roaring log fire with a pint of real ale in his hand.
