(so do I)
Simple, and pretty. "Singelo", I'd say in Portuguese ... It's somewhat exquisite mixed with beautiful. With a touch of spontaneity~

REMEMBRANCE::::
I liked that poem, each time I read it a different thought came to mind. The first time I thought of a broken heart and how one can become lost. The world around you crashes in destruction and you fight to get piece of mind.
Life so sad and lonely
Full of death an destruction,
Quite close to home, and only
Peace of mind is in construction.
--------
The second time I thought of the twin towers tragedy, how quickly it can all come to an end. A day to day way of living ruined in an instant.
Two towers that stood grand and tall,
Two gliding birds crash into a floor.
Thousands die beneath its fall
And bring the world into a war.
------
The third time I thought of my childhood and remembered how cold kids can be. I wondered why I acted how I did, and why others I knew at that age acted as they did. Children it seems from my memory, are much colder and more evil than adults.
School kids mocked, teased and jeered,
Segragation within their neighbourhood,
In twenty years we may hear they've cheered
A saddened cry against a loss of childhood.
----
Upon reading it one final time I thought of hope. That no matter how much wrong there is in the world, good will come of it in the end.
And with a band of heralds singing,
God his Angels shall he send.
Good poem, I really liked it. Is this style of writing what is known as a "three-stanza poem"?? ... My memory is terrible, but either way, I find it hard to write in that style. Great work
And I wondered if when you read it again after all that time, did you still believe in yourself? My interpretation is that you are reminding yourself you can always count on you! Your own strength to pull you through! That may be way off of course, still, I wanted to pop in to tell you I think the poem is terrific.
Remembrance was a poem I wrote back in 2001 to voice my anger at humanity over what are now historical events. The first stanza is my observation that there is too much strife and hatred in our world, and the only form of peace that is at all successful is peace of mind.
The second stanza is about the twin towers and the tragedy of it, my anger over so many deaths and my head telling me that the result was going to be war and more death... The third stanza is about a school in northern Ireland where, at the time, there were catholic school kids being refused passage up a direct road to the school from their homes by a protestant community. It angered me that sectarian crap would be taken out on innocent school kids.
My last stanza is me basically saying that we are going to be the downfall of our planet. The Heralds are a sign of the apocalypse if i am not mistaken. We will all be judged for our actions when the world ends.

So i thought i'd share it with you all.
Remember
When you have time to think
Remember i am there for you.
And every time your eyes blink
Remember i am there for you.
I understand that times have faultered
Friends may have drifted
Love may have aultered...
But dont forget those who care
For thet are the ones whose love you share.
Remember true friends love is true.
Remember i am there for you.
I've enjoyed all of your poetry, but this is the one that strikes a chord in my heart.

Really? I cant even recall the reason why i wrote that poem. I think it was for a friend who was going through a hard time. lost her mother the year before hand to cancer... and she was supposed to be travelling to NZ with a couple of other friends, but discovered they intended to ditch her when they got there... The irony of it all was that i ended up being the friend that got ditched in the end. Sometimes it doesnt matter how much you are there for someone...

That, unfortunately, is true.

I loved this poem, Niamh. I think that we could all learn something from your well put poem. Great job!
Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty

There once was a Scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
and fell off his bunk
and landed smack into his shoe!
