Today's poet

[Harry H Howgill]

Oh lordy...that can mean one of two things surely?:

i) we are all very creative and productive people on this here thread!

or

ii) we should all get out a bit more often!

ps....x runner...is that a haiku? :-) :-)

ha ha. I think that ones 50 / 50 some times!

Quantum Beings. {or my theory after some study of quantum physics of what our original role was in the shape of all things and what we shall return to.}

Be glorious shine resplendent forever more,
Leave behind all that stops you really seeing,
Infinite, infinitesimal forget all we knew before,
Universal our true state the Quantum being.

Ultimate freedom the whole of creation,
We begin where we end end where we begin,
Both everything and nothing time has no station,
We are all the universe for no or all time it is within.

No way to explain to you what we would feel,
Our part in all that has been and is and ever will be,
In a non existence that radiates for all time that's real,
We return back to our place of universal divinity.

Hes I think you could be a poet as well as an artist that was the best work i've seen on here by a yard. You are so modest about your abilities when you create such wonderful artwork and the poetry is wonderful. I don't know what others think but just reading your stuff and seeing your prints is inspirational and myself and others could learn a lot. Do not hide your light under a bushel and have the confidence to say to the world that this is your work and you know what it's really rather good. I wish i had 1/10th your talent. You could do multimedia anything at all as your talents worth sharing. Proud to share the forum with such a prodigious talent and lovely person. Matt.

Crikey Tri, I am a bit overwhelmed by that, thank you very much. It is really generous of you and I appreciate it but you most definitely should not underestimate your talent by any means. I cannot be objective about my own work. I have reached a point in my life where I earn a living from my printmaking and I recognise that what I do has a niche out there and I'm happy with much of it. Writing is another thing. It is very new to me and I have no idea if it is something I can sustain, I just write from instinct and it is nice to have somewhere to share it. In fact, without the thread, I'm not sure I'd have written at all. You, on the other hand, have been posting heartfelt works of consistant quality that have touched us all for a few months now.

So, here's to all of us on the thread. I think there is a wealth of talent out there and so many styles.

I rest my case! Poem about quantam physics? amazing and I think you win the prize for the longest title.

[Nathaniel Lee]

Pleasure and thank you for your compliment. It is a genuine appreciation of your work. Your right in that there are a lot of very good poetry writers on this thread. I particularly enjoyed it getting a little silly yesterday.

I love this TM. I can see you really thinking hard about the style too. Like the rhyming every other line.

[Hes]

Yes, I noticed that too and I feel quite happy just reading posts and commenting now and again.

I'm also tired after a gruelling session at harriers. First one since I came back and I can see the big difference in my fitness plus the fell runners all had a great training month in the snow so are super fit. Still...I am prepared to work hard to get it all back and more.

Mmmm i know what you mean, i am going to training session tomorrow and bit nervous but i think the good thing about this time of year is that we can look forward to the spring and train eagerly to emerge like little new buds then, raring to go!.......
