POETRY - A Passage of Motion 2

Poetry has always been my first joy, and I wish to place fresh eyes on anything surrounding me. Many of my poems have been published in print and online, BUT, I now focus on writing poems to post in ABCTales.com. My wife Esther is my soul mate and inspirational Editor. We live in Truro, Nova Scotia. Come and visit our Website at: www.wsprog.com/rp/ AND download FREE books. I will also send FREE copies of any of the three novels for sale, to ABC friends, for personal enjoyment.

Come dance. Let these ideas and words carry you, from one person to another. From nature's menu, through city streets, and fly off with eagle wings. All my writing combines a love of nature and contemporary issues. Please enjoy these poems. RLP

Nathan Bednarek | January 24, 2008 - 13:46

Richard. I must say that I love your poetry. In my opinion the best ones are: Bald Eagle Watching, Crow, The Cliffs of Joggins, The Old Family Farm, A Feast of Summer, Costa Chica Mexico, Ethiopia of my Soul, First Light, Soldier Boys in Africa and This Earth. You have a wonderful talent of catching the spirit of human nature and nature itself in the words of your poems. It’s a joy reading them. I’m looking forward to some new ones.

Hello again, Nathan. Writing poetry is something I have come back to in my love of writing. Until recently, I spent most of my time writing short stories; my wife, Esther and I, co-authored novels, and as I said back to writing poems. My style changes continuously, always seeking the right shadow, or flick of movement in the wind, or taste of maple sugar in the scent. Thanks again for your encouragement, for this 65 year young writer, whose energy for writing is ten times what it was twenty years ago. So dear writers-to-be, age is no excuse to sit and munch chips while dreaming of writing something one day. Cheers, from Esther and I.
