Thread: Today's poet

    Re: Today's poet

    Just re reading Hes haiku again...i find them quite soothing...really liked this one...

    forest canopy
    a net for one hundred stars
    caught among the leaves

    Derby Tup I also loved your snowy run haiku, I wondered if the mince pies were a help or a hinderance?...I am trying to pull myself around so I can get out there! Need to make room for a curry later on! (oh dear!)

    Writing

    often it is the only
    thing
    between you and
    impossibility.
    no drink,
    no woman's love,
    no wealth
    can
    match it.

    Charles Bukowski

    The mince pies were still warm from the oven and eaten when we got back

    Re: Today's poet

    just back from my run....

    across sleeping fields
    a clumsy totter
    crunch after crunch

    clarts into stone
    fissured planes of winter glass
    thoughts turn to spring

    homeward bound
    remenants of xmas
    delicious cold!

    Re: Today's poet

    I started watching the film 'Into the wild' earlier - a fabulous quote from a poem by Byron is shown at the start....

    There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
    There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
    There is society, where none intrudes,
    By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
    I love not man the less, but Nature more

    This is absolute class...love it
