Moving house is such the pits; all the old certainties that
were there forever all to be packed up in boxes.Views out
of most windows I look through, especially since the next
door neighbour’s house was burnt to the ground.

An exuberance of life is to dance once more the dance of life
With your partner by your side.
To once again see the sunrise and hear the morning's outside chorus.
Feel the days vibrancy, the clattering of life during the morning's rise.

In the Christian faith in eternity one gets to keep oneself.
For where anyone goes he is always going to be himself.
It is a powerful question to ask about oneself who he is, does he mind.
Self judgment is there, there's the pointing of the finger and fault to find.

I received a phone call during February 1988 twenty one years

asked me to come to the family home right away.
At that time my only transport was a bicycle so

During the summer months here in Australia every day for
weeks and weeks there was nothing but overcast skies and high
humidity it drove me nuts. Now Australia is in the winter

In the beginning it was never questioned, what it was, it seemed harmless enough.
This thing of thinking in words, this self talk of the mind, a discipline which is tough.
Mind ranging all over society for that matter all over the land.
Australia with its diverse multiculturalism and ethnic diversity to understand.

Noisy Minors diligently made their nest

It is a hot day with a hot north-easterly

Before twilight, I could hear a bird or two calling.
I made myself a cup of coffee.

Its only in the stillness of the morning, when one can hear

Jerry Behr Number 2 Biography

Born in Amsterdam Netherlands and migrated to Australia as a kid in 1956. Due to censorship problems I have created a blog spot at. http: //jerrybehrpoetrynumber2.blogspot.com I had an ordinary education but I had a talkative mind. In my early fifties I started to learn about computers and word processing and that opened a whole new world for me. I like Poem Hunter because it records the amount of hits of people reading my work.But I find it's editing abilities wanting. You can also see my work in Privacy At Poetry Poem and look for Jerry Behr 'Dissidence' There you will see how my poetry should be made with good editing.)

The Best Poem Of Jerry Behr Number 2

A Letter To The Poet

Dear poet as a member of Poem Hunter I’ve really scrutinized
the ins and out, the pros and cons of the web site.
I started to down load my poetry on Poem Hunter since
September 2009. One advantage of this site it records the “hits”
of the people reading the poet’s poetry.

I think Poem Hunter is the only one that has this application.
There are other poetry sites on the internet e.g. Privacy At
Poetry Poem, Privacy At Poetry Vista. These sites are also for
free to all the world’s poets. In all these sites the poet has to be
highly computer literate in order to operate any sites.

The editing ability of Privacy At Poetry Poem and Privacy At
Poetry Vista is far superior to Poem Hunter and the poet can
create backgrounds something that Poem Hunter lacks.
However with Poetry Poem and Poetry Vista
it does not record the “hits”

The problem with the real poets of the world is not only to be
published but also to be read. Only Poem Hunter supplies this,
everywhere else the poet is one of the hoards being lost in a
blizzard of down loads. On other ezines sites by poetry
magazines the poet has to suck up to their editors.

With Poem Hunter the poet can write what ever he likes and see
it on the screen and know that other people are also reading his
or her poetry. I have noticed with Poem Hunter that the readers
are interested in having a “good read” and not interested
in strict poetry construction.

The wider the “spectrum of life” the better it is for the reader
to have that “good read.” Another outstanding feature of Poem
Hunter it also records it’s members popularity ranking whether in
his own country or his place in the world’s ranking; the other
sites do not have this feature.

This “ranking number” is of great value to read other poets
works and have a “good read’ and one can pick out lets say the
top 25 poets of a particular country. In that sense one
could read the top echelon of poets from anywhere in the world
and have that ‘good read.
