I dug this out of my archives from when I was at Secondary school. The book that came as the prize was Ogden Nash's "Versus"  The Welsh There is a people who sing Singly and in masses; By broken mountain streams, In the black brilliance of a mine, In Chapel and in Pub. Alien countries hear Their lyrical lilt give Melody to gutteral tongues. The best, the worst, they are there, Producing saint and sinner. The generations gone, The present, those to come, Linked by the music of the singing people. |

This was a random page that I opened in the book. Drink deep to Uncle Uglug That early heroic human, The first to eat an oyster, The first to marry a woman. God's curse on him who murmers As the banquet waxes moister. "Had only he eaten the woman , Had only he married the oyster" |

I don't like oysters.

I wonder if a boy in secondary school could write that nowadays. You seemed to be wise for your age. |

That is the truth Torre. Michael is one of my favorite poets and writers at any age.

You're very kind Linny!  I've written masses of poems over the years , mostly for my own amusement, but in recent years I seem to have lost the motivation. I don't know why, maybe advancing age. Recently I've been going through old school magazines and the memories it has triggered have been fascinating. Stuff I wrote that I don't even remember, some humorous some deep. |

I know what you mean Michael, altho your writing talent seems to translate well whatever form of written word you elect to use, frankl...you could probably make reading a phonebook sweet, interesting, funny or thought provoking. I am in a creative desert right now, and looking at some possible workshops of a spiritual nature to rid myself of the energy blocks I know I have created. So I guess I am trying to say that you are creating whenever you type-just because it doesn't follow poetic rules doesn t make it any less peotic.... |
