Poetry Appreciation

Kind of a low key, remote, flurry though isn't it. the first verse. And then a sort of sigh into the second. He has you sitting there looking at it, doesnt he. As you say, in such a few words. less is more and all that.

I have had a couple of poems published and have been writing poems since I was little so I would def be interested...

Anyone else got comments on Ludaig? I think it is short and evocative. Almost Japanese.
If not, Hunt has made a suggestion. Shall we get that one off the shelf and have a go?

Happy to do that. Any chgance Hunt that you could reproduce the poem here for us please?

How about a separate thread for each poem so people could go on commenting on each one for as long as they liked, without causing confusion.
I will be nominating a difficult poet - Gerard Manley Hopkins - for the wonderful use of language. My favourite is Inversnaid because it reminds me of the peaty streams on the Yorkshire Moors. This is one of his less obscure poems. I had not met his work until I studied it as part of my Eng. Lit degree course.

Perhaps GNHQ might look favourably on a poetry forum?
