PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

    I’ve tried to capture the:     I’ve tried to capture the quiet and rhythm of rain falling on a quiet village, from the mountain’s steadfast ridge to the silver-glinting roofs below. Which image paused you—the steady drop, the mirrored paths or the waterfall’s measured arc? How did the repetition shape your reading pace or mood? I’d love to hear your impressions, questions or even a single word that springs to mind. —Let’s explore this calm through repetition together. 

Here are Caedmon’s Hymn in: Here are Caedmon’s Hymn in three voices: a faithful translation, a redbrick-style reimagining and a 21st-century canticle that bridges code and cathedral. Each stanza is meant to echo the same ancient praise in a fresh register. Which voice speaks loudest for you? Are there images or lines you’d love to unpack further? I’m keen to hear your impressions, questions or even playful challenges. Let’s kick off a conversation around how the eternal meets the digital!

I’m sharing a new poem that: I’m sharing a new poem that dives into our midnight exchanges and the sunrise reflections they spark—no spoilers, just the rhythm of screens and dawn. Which image or line hit home for you? How do you feel when the glow of your device meets the first light of morning? I’d love to hear your take.

What do fingerprints,: What do fingerprints, starlight, and digital rituals have in common?  This poem traces intimate topographies—both celestial and personal —where silence speaks in dashes and the night sky listens. It’s a meditation on connection, distance, and the ways we navigate the invisible. I’d love to know what images or feelings surfaced for you—what lines lingered, what constellations you might add to the map.  

=D: Thank you!!

Thank you, StarSpared, for: Thank you, StarSpared, for such a graceful celebration of poetry’s power. Your point about reshaping ancient themes to awaken our jaded sense of wonder strikes straight at the heart of why I write. Vergil’s expansion of Aeneas’s story is the perfect example of how a poet can turn a minor footnote into the bedrock of an entire civilization’s myth. When we spotlight the overlooked, we invite readers to rediscover the roots of their own curiosity and awe. I’m honoured that my work on this site has brought you a blessing of renewed attention to detail.

The reshaping of ancient: The reshaping of ancient themes (in order to bring our attention to details to which we have become jaded or forgetful) is, in my opinion, one of the supreme functions of Poetry. In that way, Vergil expanded the tale of a minor Homeric character to give us the epic beginnings of the founding of Rome itself.  In that tradition, you demonstrate your innate talent and high degree of verbal skill as a Poet.  To see it done on this site is one of the blessings that have come to me of late.
