Today's poet

Like that DT...cool

speaking of Neruda, it just ain't friday night around here without one of his offerings....

Your Breast Is Enough
Pablo Neruda

Your breast is enough for my heart,
and my wings for your freedom.
What was sleeping above your soul will rise
out of my mouth to heaven.

In you is the illusion of each day.
You arrive like the dew to the cupped flowers.
You undermine the horizon with your absence.
Eternally in flight like the wave.

I have said that you sang in the wind
like the pines and like the masts.
Like them you are tall and taciturn,
and you are sad, all at once, like a voyage.

You gather things to you like an old road.
You are peopled with echoes and nostalgic voices.
I awoke and at times the birds fled and migrated
that had been sleeping in your soul.

I'm so excited I'm seriously considering phoning my mum to tell her. I'll be 46 in May and it might take a bit of explaining why I'm now named after a sheep but what the hell

Unlikely Tom. I'm giving a mate a lift over and he needs to get back home as soon as possible after finishing

Aw, she should be very proud !!! can you also tell her from me that her son has written so many wonderful haiku that he merits a book of his own on the subject!...perhaps illustrated by Hes?

Mytholmroyd Community centre I think iirc the finish is similar if not the same as the Good Shepherd Classic

ha ha, that really made me laugh DT. Bet she'll still be proud of you, sheepish or not. I think I am probably sometimes the black sheep of the family but hey, ho.

I am celebrating with chocolate and a luvverly cup of tea (I have had a trying day). I must choose a poet to model myself on, not Plath, that is the road to sadness and suicide; Pablo's muse has been taken (probably by Pablo lots of times, hey hey), maybe I should go for Pam Ayres after last night's efforts!
