Poetry muse returns


I have not been able to write a poem for better than three years. My unexpected travels to Maine revived the Poet in me. What follows are the results. I usually refer to most of poems as half-poems since they still need more work. But they are good enough. Also remember the spacing is there for a reason. Silences are as much a part of a poem as the words.

Composure,

Small danger and would find peace in the greatest danger of
all.

Sssh The Sea Says






Sssh the sea says
Sssh the small waves at the shore say, sssh
Not so violent, not
So haughty, not

Sssh say the tips of the waves
Crowding around the headland’s
Surf. Sssh
They say to people
This is our earth,
Our eternity.
(Rolf Jacobsen from Norway)
 
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar....
(Lord Byron)
