Poetry is the heart-beat & core of all literature. It is the rhythm of life & truth incarnate of the writer. Poetry has music but no written notes, a plethora of colours visible to the mind & although works of new poets are never printed or distributed by leading publishing houses & apparently shunned by book distributers, all people honour all poets of worth.
Since the age of five I have written poetry and songs. Some have been published in compilations with works of other writers/composers, but mainly I have just kept writing. As a child I made pocket money by winning poetry competitions and as a student I often survived by ghost writing other people's personalised poems for special occasions.
I adore reading my own and other poet's work in public situations. While working in the UK I was usually the only Australian chosen to read modern lyrical Welsh poems on St David's Day, an honour seldom bestowed on a stranger. When I worked in Scotland every cell in my body blazed with the need to write poem after poem. Here's an amusing piece which may challenge your thinking.
