Hello all,
Recently I entered an online poetry 'form' competition, a bit of fun, where everyone had to write a Litany, which is a poem, almost like a prayer, where the first word or first few words are repeated on every line. Anyway, I WON!!! And as winner I have the pleasure of selecting the next form and judging the competition. If anyone is interested the website is www.online-literature.com/forums and it's a nice site with a reading section, a writing section, and a general section, and they have blogs too!
Anyway, here is the poem:
Swallow
I swallow the kiss of a secret lover.
I swallow the hand reaching out for another.
I swallow the joy from a toddler’s smile.
I swallow the watch with the broken dial.
I swallow the dreams of a newlywed bride.
I swallow the memories from a dying man’s eyes.
I swallow the hope of a new generation.
I swallow the pause in a long conversation.
I swallow the what, the how, and the why.
I swallow the stars from a crisp autumn sky.
I swallow the essence of a good man’s soul.
I swallow the Earth then spit it out again, whole.

Bii, this is lovely.
Although it's fair to say that I don't really "get" poetry (primarily because I can never think of anything that rhymes with Dalek), I can appreciate a thing of beauty when I see it (e.g. a Wilson Palacios through-ball).
That's what this is, a thing of beauty
Rather spiffing. Well done!
