This is a thread that has come out of a discussion between myself and Steven.
We have had 2 other shared threads that have come about in this way: Paranormal and Creative.
Please share your poetry, either something you have written, or one that you like/has meaning to you.
Prose is welcome too.
Here's my contribution from Yeats for starters:
He wishes for the Cloths of Heaven: Yeats
Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
Hiya all
Ive loved poetry for all of my life, both writing and reading. I have had many published including in magazines, a national broadsheet newspaper, four pamphlets and a full length collection. I no longer bother much about publication but write most days for pleasure and as an incredible kind of creative self therapy
This unpublished one is about my cat Tree. I rescued her in 2019 from Cats Protection
Tree (her first poem)
The Curly Gurl
The curling-kat
drifts like a puck on ice
through my life.
A purring-kat
all fuss-and-gifting
her love, an unconditional.
As I thinks on in the ice,
she is excellence, rescued
to my bright home.

2019?
