Download or read book The Quatrains and Selected Poems written by V. Paul Hall and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Quatrains and Selected Poetry of V. Paul Hall is a volume of poetry dedicated to those people who enjoy reading poetry. Those people who enjoy the beautiful poetry of the old masters are more likely to enjoy this volume. It consists of some of the best of the works of the poet, though it is by no means a complete collection of his works. For those who desire a better understanding of the rhythms employed by the old masters of poetry, the forward is a tutorial on that subject. It also grapples with the subject of just what it is that makes poetry, a question, which has not yet been definitively answered. The poems are not obscure and hard to understand. It is the belief of the poet that, if the reader cannot understand the meaning of the poem, the poem probably has no meaning worthy of being sought. It has often been said that poetry should communicate emotion. In order to do this, it is essential to communicate as clearly, concisely, and beautifully as the poet's ability will permit. However, that communication needs to be conformed to the rhythmic rules of poetry. We may alter the rules by introducing new rhythms, but they must be rhythmic, not arhythmic.

Download or read book Poetry from the Heart written by DenHagan and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains over twenty-eight different types of poetry, with explanations and examples of each type. Many of my poems are romantic, such as "My Beloved," "Ode to Melissa," "To Love a Woman," "My Heart's Desire," "Love," and "My Love." While others are inspirational, like "Forgiveness," "Hope," "The Seven Virtues," "Empathy," and "Kindness." Still others are philosophical in nature, such as my poems "Living," "True Freedom," "Who Knows What Tomorrow Brings," and "The State of the Economy." My kyrielle poem "Life" could be said to be both inspirational and philosophical. Some of my poems are educational, like "The Benefits of Reading," which extols the virtues of reading, and "To Be Young Again," which talks about nutrition and exercise. Some are family-oriented poems, such as my poem "Little Bit," which I wrote for my niece Kristin, or "Camping with Younger Brother," which I wrote for my brother Craig, or "Little Child," which I wrote for all the little ones in the world. Other poems are devoted to nature like my "Froggy," "Turtle," "Tornado," and "Mother Nature" poems or to mankind in general, such as "Earth on Which We Live" and "True Happiness." And others were written with some fun in mind, like the poem "Nude" I wrote in response to an online contest to rhyme the last word in each line with the word nude. ("Birthday Lesson" is another fun poem like this.) I also did a series of seven poems on each of "the seven deadly sins," where I used archaic language to spoof each of these "sins," which unfortunately often plague mankind. I truly hope you will enjoy reading the poems contained in this book.

"His Takhallus or poetical name (Khayyam) signifies a Tent-maker, and he is said to have at one time exercised that trade, perhaps before Nizam-ul-Mulk's generosity raised him to independence. Many Persian poets similarly derive their names from their occupations; thus we have Attar, 'a druggist, ' Assar, 'an oil presser, ' etc. Omar himself alludes to his name in the following whimsical lines: -- "'Khayyam, who stitched the tents of science, Has fallen in grief's furnace and been suddenly burned; The shears of Fate have cut the tent ropes of his life, And the broker of Hope has sold him for We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Download or read book Contemplation in the High Desert written by Teresa E. Gallion and published by Inner Child Press. This book was released on 2011-11-21 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface to Contemplation in the High Desert I am blessed to live in a high desert sanctuary where the sun shines more than 325 days a year, where the blue vaulted sky sports the most spectacular clouds and the night sky twinkles with ecstatic brilliance. Add to that the indescribably beautiful New Mexico landscape that draws artist and writers from all over the world. Within that context, I often find my head in the clouds whether walking the city streets, a desert arroyo or a Ponderosa Pine trail. For me, the New Mexico landscape is sacred ground. To share this space with the soul of Rumi is a blessing. I became intimately acquainted with Rumi (13th century Sufi mystic and poet) over the past 12 years, sharing moments of quiet reading and reflection when one retreats from the tasks of daily living. Rumi resonates with my heart and soul as I sit in my rocking chair at home, as I sit by my morning campfire, as I sit in a natural hot spring in the mountains, as I sit by a river gently flowing past, as I sit under a Juniper Tree in the middle of the winter desert. No matter where I read Rumi, I am always inspired to write quatrains in response to the lyrics of wisdom that sing to me. He makes me laugh and cry, stand in righteous indignation, tremor with ecstatic joy and sometimes I dance, especially at home. All of these emotions flow into four line verses that respond to whatever touches me in that moment. I did not start writing quatrains with the intent of publishing a book. My dear friend and colleague, Debbi Brody, would see a few of them every year when we attended the annual writers festival at Ghost Ranch Conference and Retreat Center in Northern New Mexico. She always said, "You need to put these together in a book." So I finally listened to that gentle nudge of Spirit coming through Debbi. When I put the quatrains together as a collection, I realized the significance of what I had been doing for so many years. I was unfolding spiritually at a pace I could handle. Contemplation in the High Desert has become a love offering to all who spend time in quiet reflection, contemplation or meditation. Each quatrain stands alone and may be used to start or end your day. If you are a writer, I hope it provides prompts to jump start your writing. If you are an artist, I hope it stimulates your creative juices. Regardless, I hope these quatrains stimulate your inner journey of self. Most of all, I hope they provide a partner to sit with and simply reflect on life. I invite you to sit in a quiet space that gives you solace and taste the flavors of these quatrains. You may find some that will tickle your taste buds. The menu is diverse. Indulge yourself and may you find something that nourishes your Spirit. Teresa E. Gallion May the Blessings Be September, 2011
Download or read book The Poetry of He Zhu 1052 1125 written by Stuart Sargent and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-03-31 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Northern Song poet He Zhu is best known for his lyrics (ci) but also produced shi poetry of subtlety, wit, and feeling. This study examines the latter as a response to the options available to a late-eleventh century writer in the pentametrical and heptametrical forms of Ancient Verse, Regulated Verse, and Quatrains. Numerous comparisons are made with Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Du Fu, and other important writers. In a major advance over previous methodologies, the author uses a clear system of metrical notation to show how sound patterns reveal the poet's artistic and emotional intentions. This innovation and the author's other meticulous explorations of He Zhu's artistry allow us to experience Chinese poetry as never before. From the reader's report: "not just an excellent study of an individual poet but also a model of reading the language of classical Chinese poetry. [..] opens up a world of interpretive territory heretofore seldom explored."
Download or read book David s Crown written by Malcolm Guite and published by Canterbury Press. This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As well as the name of a virus, a corona is a crown, the pearly glow around the sun in certain astronomical conditions and a poetic form where interlinking lines connect a sequence. It is the perfect name therefore for this new collection of 150 poems by the bestselling poet Malcolm Guite, each one written in response to the Bible’s 150 psalms as they appear in William Coverdale’s timeless translation. The Psalms express every human emotion with disarming honesty, as anger and thankfulness alike are directed at God. All of life is here with its moments of beauty and its times of despair and shame. Like the Psalms themselves, the poems do not avoid the cursing and glorying over the downfall of your enemies, but wrestle honestly with them as we do when we come to say them.

Download or read book Quatrains Other Short Poems written by Robert Notenboom and published by Leaky Boot Press. This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delightful short poems of French poet Robert Notenboom are reflections on life, love, God, death and growing old. They are the words of someone who has lived through tumultuous times and has come to terms with the inevitable fact that lives, like the seasons, come and go, and that the most important thing that any of us can hope to achieve is a sense of peace and understanding of ourselves. Roberts poems triumphantly reflect the life that he has lived and the man that he is. Reading the poems, hearing the voice, in Quatrains & other short poems is like hearing time itself singing a song of the passing of years. Robert Notenboom was born in Paris in 1931 to a German mother and a Dutch father. He did not speak French until 1939 and had a difficult and lonely childhood. It was only at the age of 21 that he took French nationality. He has published numerous books of poetry, also fiction and non-fiction, in French, all in the 21st century. Quatrains & other short poems is his first book in English. Paraphrasing Jean Prouvé, Robert likes to say of his writing that "every word that is not indispensable is harmful".
