The best way to begin blogging is to tell you about the essentail Bohemian...Mr Walt Whitman. A staunch individualist and an amazingly eccentric man. Check out his poetry from Leaves of Grass. He coined the term Yawp to capture the individual cry or sound of each creature on this planet. He celebrated the uniqueness of each molecule and helped to articulate the American Dream.
Poetry from many parts of the world can change our lives.Emily Dickinson tells us to be careful what we place on paper. A word drpped careless on a page/ may stimulate an eye... look it up and discover your own potentail for leaving a legacy in history.
Some poets to peruse.....might include...Robert Frost....Emily Dickinson...Walt Whitman...Adrienne Rich...Kenneth Slessor...Heather Cam...Billy Collins...Judith Wright...Charlotte Mew...Robert Browning...Phillip Larkin...William Carlos Williams...Deb Westbury...and someone who is the Father of Transcendentalism- Ralph Waldo Emmerson . In this man we have the one who started the Modernist movement in American literature...the Muse for Emily Dickinson and a valued colleague of Whitman.
So if you have a little time, grab a volume of poetry and find the riches within yourself.
