Poetry  Illuminates  the Meaning of Life

 

Reading the Poetry of the Landscape

Reading the Poetry of the Landscape

Poetry

Poetry is soca, calypso, rara, reggae.

It is the echoes of the abeng across the mountain top;

The cold smoldering seams between a couple’s silence ;

The hot passion of their midnight embrace.

It is the wondrous touch of a baby’s hand

And the last flower flung at a descending coffin.

..from Bridges to Memory: Poems by Marva McClean p. 50

 

 

At One With Nature: Thrilled to Here

At One With Nature: Thrilled to be Here
