Poems by Friends and Others…

In a discussion with a friend, when I was trying to explain what I was trying to achieve in the parts of the web site showing other people’s work,  she said “Oh, you mean a bit like an on-line writer’s group?” I think this is a very apt description.

Here you will will find poems written by some of my friends and other people, sometimes with a short comment by me. You can add your thoughts by contacting me, even if just to say you liked it. I will pass your responses on to the author. You can also send me poems you have written, especially if you would like to see them on this web site.

If I choose to display them, you will, of course, retain copyright. I will also let you know when they go ‘live’.

To begin this selection of poems by friends, four takes on Autumn:

 

Autumn – by Paul Ferris

Dying leaves sighing

last farewells as wind-borne clouds

shade the fading sun.

 

Autumn leaves –

The final whispering

Before lights out.

 

Hear now –

The last whispers

Of red-brown autumn leaves

As wind-borne clouds occlude the sun.

 

Grey clouds hurry by,

Dead leaves fly – and the wind cries

‘The sun is falling’.


 

And to preview the season ahead…. jump to January
