Some of you may have seen the free e-book at Scribd which I blogged about on this site and which contains an embedded copy of the Scribd book.
This contained a number of early lyrics, edited to pass as poetry. I have now taken poems written since then and created a second collection which I have called, "Poetry From A New Beginning". The reasoning behind the title is explained in the e-book itself, so I will not re-iterate it here. It is also available on Scribd as a free download, and again I am posting an embedded version of this e-book in this post here on the blog.
Read it here, or go to Scribd to download it, it is your choice. The difference in style seems obvious to me. Not least is the widening of the subject matter. I would love to hear what you think of the poetry. It has become very important to me but I am struggling to write as much as I would like. Here is the e-book:-
I wanted to thank you for visiting my site. Although I didn't read all of the pieces in the collection, one stood out of those I perused. The one about writing a poem. It made me smile as I had recently written a piece which included the old teacher's advice: "When you can't think of anything else, write about writing." I am a retired teacher, so it certainly seemed more than appropriate. Another thing about writing a poem a day...there is a huge poetry and writing prompt circuit online and several sites offer daily prompts through the month of November and during April, National poetry writing month. It's so much easier when you are sharing the experience and finding inspiration at the same time. Wish you the best on your poetic journey...
