Work In Progress Poem by Seamus O' Brian

Work In Progress

Rating: 5.0


A poet begins
writing
poetry

poems pass
one by one
harvests torn
from the soul

unaware that
shaping, molding
over time

birthing, toiling
rummaging
through the mind

the poems
have shaped
the poet

i set out
to write poetry
but I have been

written.

And finally a poetry is born, it goes through many processes and finally after passing all the test it appears, shining like stars, dancing like daffodils...Excellent poem, a perfect 10 for this.

A very intelligent poem with a pleasingly modern structure. my son-in-law is a Wexford fellah, though the family originated in Cork. Your poem has real meaning and it's going in my favourites' list.

Thank you, good Tom, I am humbly pleased to be added to your anthology. I can enjoy the bustle of Cork and the southeast in small measure, but my heart belongs to Galway, Mayo, and the wilds of the northwest. You might see some of that wildness drift through my work. S
