#worldPoetryDay

The sea is powerful poetry, a metaphor for everything we do. For the spiritual, the sea is a reminder of their Lord. The sea is science, reality, influencing rainfall and weather.

Thoughts on #WorldPoetryDay yesterday.

🖋️Poetry is much more powerful than it first appears.
Just reading one poem a day can take you to somewhere you never thought possible.

Worth a look…☺️

Calbharaigh
Chan eil mo shùil air Calbharaigh
no air Betlehem an àigh
ach air cùil ghrod an Glaschu
far bheil an lobhadh fàis,
agus air seòmar an Dùn Èideann,
seòmar bochdainn ’s cràidh,
far a bheil an naoidhean creuchdach
ri aonagraich gu bhàs.

“I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forest.”

I've been informed it's #WorldPoetryDay . Here's a few of mine.

#WorldPoetryDay

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me, (with big yawning)
As plurdled gabbleblotchits, in midsummer morning
On a lurgid bee,
That mordiously hath blurted out,
Its earted jurtles, grumbling
Into a rancid festering confectious organ squealer. [drowned out by moaning and screaming]
Now the jurpling slayjid agrocrustles,
Are slurping hagrilly up the axlegrurts,
And living glupules frart and stipulate,
Like jowling meated liverslime,
Groop, I implore thee.

On our mother’s dirt
roads we know

how dangerous someone 
who wants to save you 
can become.

Compassion is not the same as repair.

Let’s say madness has a heart.

For #WorldPoetryDay
Norman MacCaig
"Assynt and Edinburgh"

From the corner of Scotland I know so well
I see Edinburgh sprawling like seven cats
on its seven hills beside the Firth of Forth.

And when I’m in Edinburgh I walk
amongst the mountains and lochs of that corner
that looks across the Minch to the Hebrides.

Two places I belong to as though I was born
in both of them.

They make every day a birthday,
giving me gifts wrapped in the ribbons of memory.
I store them away, greedy as a miser.

as dewy mist
settles on
barren leafs
words no longer form...

To honor #WorldPoetryDay, I'm sharing my beloved poem Two-Headed Calf by Laura Gilpin, illustrated by Adam Ellis.

Snotters
Albert Kirk Jr

Ma snib is fou o snotters
That willnae dreeble oot;
They dinnae dreep a thochtie
Gin A dicht them wi a cloot.

A howk them wi ma fingers;
A scart them wi ma taes;
A rummle roon sair foonert
Ilka meenit o the day.

A'm feart A'll loass a pinkie
Dellin deep ahint a ee;
A'm feart A'll powk ma harns oot -
O, whit a wey tae dee!

Ma snib is stowed wi snotters
That willnae quit ma heid;
A think A'll lea ma neb alane
An pick ma bum insteid.

For World Poetry Day I thought I’d share a very old poem … written over 20 years ago. I decided to not edit it or tweak it and to let my voice as a 27 year old come through. 📣 What will your moment be?

LaRusso wanted to celebrate #WorldPoetryDay with a reading, so here goes...

Roses are red

Liminal moment

between rainfall and sunshine,

expectant stillness.
