LETTER TO THE DEAR READER AND INDEX OF POEMS PART ONE

NOTE: The poems on THIS list are listed, most recent first AS POSTED AND IN DESCENDING ORDER: FROM JULY 2019 DOWN TO JULY 2006.

FOR POEMS WRITTEN AND POSTED AFTER JULY 2019, PLEASE SEE INDEX 2, POEMS IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE DATING FROM AUGUST 2019 AND CONTINUING FORWARDS... THANK YOU!!!


Dear Reader,

A heartfelt poetry welcome to you.
Just type the title into the space at the bottom of the month by month archives and after the Links in the right margin where it says: “SEARCH THIS BLOG” and hit Enter.  This will bring up the poem you have requested from the list of poems that follows this letter. Also you can click on any of the labels on the upper right hand side of your screen and find surprise poems. You will see what I mean if you do so.

You can also click on the ten entries under Popular Posts which represent poems people have liked the most over the last 30 days.  And even though they are "popular" they are not at all "stuck up" because I would smack them if they were. (I am their mother, so to speak)

If it doesn't (bring them up), you can look at the poems by month and year under the blog archives. After you click on month and year under archives you would just keep clicking on older posts at the bottom of the page until you found the title you were looking for. 

If you don’t wish to do this, scroll past this list to where the poems begin and just click on Older Posts when you reach the bottom of the page and you can go through the poems chronologically that is from most recent posts and back.  If this doesn't work, just pray. That's my general rule for everything and it has often helped me so I endow you with it, too. (if you need endowing).(I forgot to say you can also enter the title of the poem you wish for in the little window in the top left hand of the screen).

And if you find as you read the titles of the poems that some will loom larger, while others shrink smaller,and some with a Cheshire smile just fade out of view-then just remember Alice and especially remember that she got out of it all alive and still with cheerful demeanor or at least no one ever said: otherwise. You will too. (Get out of it all alive.) God said so.

For all family, friends and teachers past, present, and future.  God bless and keep you on your way.

And eternally to the Russian poets Anna Akhmatova, Osip Mandelstam and Boris Pasternak who continued singing their personal, highly individual music, lyrical poetry from their own souls as before God at the risk not only of personal reputation, but life itself in the face of political propaganda and ill-conceived conformity, massive cruelty, in other words, in the mouth of hell they did not rebrand themselves. Why should they? They were already the poets they were supposed to be and they knew it.

Anyone wishing to write their own poems, famous or not, take heart. The people who love poetry the most are not always only the people with their name up in lights. It matters that you write poetry if you deeply feel to do so. If you deeply feel to do so, you are a poet no matter what anyone says.

Use the internet to share your poems,if you wish especially poemhunter.com. It (poemhunter)is a very kind and friendly website. I would suggest as well as wordpress.com, blogger.com and there are others. God keep you safe. You don't have to tolerate bullies criticizing your poems. If this happens to you, just leave that site. Many blogs allow you to delete trashy comments.

I also must confess the poet I love the best beyond all other poets (as so many do, I know) is Rainer Maria Rilke who also famously fell in love with Russia.

And I am deeply inspired by Valerie Macon, briefly, poet laureate of North Carolina for her bravery under fire, unfailing kindness and her deep abiding love for poetry and for the worth of self published and amateur poets not only throughout our state, but, I believe, the world. She is the real deal, as we say in American English.

May all countries and ethnicities, let me make a distinction here on which everything depends - all individuals - find and hold onto through every difficulty the God-given languages of beauty and of the heart as you did, for the sake of God and for the peace and innocence of all our children.

And may we find the dream language beyond all sorrows that will not allow us to abandon hope and the home that the arts provide us glimpsing as Yeats said so wonder-filled, “Eternal Beauty, wandering on her way.”

Best wishes, thoughts and prayers to anyone finding this blog on purpose or coincidentally.  I hope my poems make you happy. Although I am unable to answer comments at this time, I read every comment sent to me,  God Bless You (from my “family” to yours!). And still I mull over all the ones who can't leave my heart, my poems: The Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, Walter De La Mare, RAY BRADBURY...

May you always speak and be spoken to in diamonds, never toads. (See the poem Note from Home, Years Later, in Reply to a Note from School if you wish, for further explanation, or the Peruault Fairytale I was initially inspired by which is called either Toads and Diamonds or Diamonds and Toads but which I am calling Toads and Diamonds so that my last word to you here can be a diamond.)
