You could just pull one off the shelf and open it. <br /><br />Anyway, and I can't stress this enough: "That which we need will find us." And if poetry hasn't found you yet then you have something to look forward to. If it never finds you then it doesn't matter either. By the way, not all poetry is equal. What is one person's Jackson Pollock is another's cut off ear. <br /><br />UUrsulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-19044031697340234882020-10-01T23:57:59.187+01:002020-10-01T23:57:59.187+01:00What better than to write a poem om National Poetr...What better than to write a poem om National Poetry day.

Strangely enough, though, I seem to have lost interest in poetry somewhere along the way. <br />I loved poems as a child, and some lines from Heinrich Heine's Belsatzar (sometimes spelled Belsazar), written in 1819 or 20 (sources differ on the exact year) can still send a shiver down my spine. Also, I do love our local hero, Friedrich Schiller. And there are certainly some modern poets whose works could touch me, if only I let them.<br />Still, I have never bought a single poetry book and possibly never will. What is wrong with me, I wonder.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-76318207623234118142020-10-01T14:27:18.329+01:002020-10-01T14:27:18.329+01:00I used to write poetry.

Last week on Channel 4's council housing programme, there was a similar story of home owners who had bought Southwark council flats only to be presented with an horrendous upgrade bill whereas council tenants were getting the work done for free. Here is the link (https://www.channel4.com/programmes/council-house-britain/on-demand/70223-004) and round about 17 minutes and 12 seconds in comes the start of the story. Some tenants decided to band together to fight the council. I wonder if that would be an option for your daughter?ADDYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018958238940897902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-19993308396079256432020-10-01T12:22:55.532+01:002020-10-01T12:22:55.532+01:00Still waiting for the Simon Armitage poem as well ...Still waiting for the Simon Armitage poem as well today. Capturing the 'essence' for that is what poetry is about is difficult and I fail. Paul had a 'Megalithic Poems' blog in which he collected all manner of poetry relating to the stones.
