Words from the writer…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rome wasnt built in a day, and when it was it must have been built by someone like me, as in my by now decade long restoration of my little cottage, I am still at the start, but htis may well be the year it will be finfished by.<\/p>\n

Judging by the global property crisis, the world must be built by poets.<\/p>\n

Then again, seeing the profits others are making, the world most definitly is NOT built by poets!<\/p>\n

What is a poem?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For some, poetry is a personal reflection, for more it is an open part of culture to be celebrated.<\/p>\n

For some, rules are against the rules, for others, more traditional, like me, rules are there to give structure, but can be bent occasionally.<\/p>\n

For me poetry is to be celbrated both as a part of a living culture and as part of our reflective life.<\/p>\n
