Poems, general writings, ravings, and other things.

This is a very fine poem Kevin but, you might want to fix the typo in the second line. I'm positive you mean diary, not dairy.

yeah, I think I know what you mean. So many things that leave their mark on us - I hope I leave a mark on them, if that makes sense?

That does make sense. It wasnt really what I was going for but I'm glad you could get that out of this poem.
Its more of an ode to what I have been through in the past year or so.
Thanks Andave!

I am in agreement and
I am impressedl

I normally don't like such poems with the same opening for each line like this. (There is a rhetorical term that refers to this called anaphora.) But you were able to make each line individual and creative enough to hold intereest and the poem wasn't long enough to bore with the repetition. Good job Kevin.

This makes me want to go back and read the ancient Celtic druidic poem ascribed to Taliesin. Anaphora is good...occasionally.

Thank you virgil and alakungfu.
Is that a good thing silas?

Yes, here it is. Sorry forgot the smiley. Just 'I am the..' reminded me of a poem ascribed to a Welsh poet called Taliesin.

I just saw a poem which reminded me of yours.. the author was just listed "anonymous"

I am the wind which breathes upon the sea,
I am the wave of the ocean,
I am the murmur of the billows,
I am the ox of the seven combats,
I am the vulture upon the rocks,
I am a beam of the sun,
I am the fairest of plants,
I am a wild boar in valour,
I am a salmon in the water,
I am a lake in the plain,
I am a word of science,
I am the point of the lance in battle,
I am the God who creates in the head the fire.
Who is it who throws light into the meeting on the mountain?
Who announces the ages of the moon?
Who teaches the place where couches the sun?
