Download or read book Leaves Falling Upon the Sky written by Estelle Watson Sanders and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collection of poems, Leaves Falling Upon the Sky, a Reflection of a Life So Far, invites the reader to examine ordinary life events such as “Mowing the Lawn” or “Peeling Potatoes” from a unique perspective. Estelle’s way of seeing is, as the title suggests, like looking at autumn leaves drifting upward towards the sky rather than falling down to earth. By looking at our shared experiences from the humorous morning weigh-in depicted in “The Scale” to the serious business of caring for loved ones in “The Sick Child”, the writer shows that we can find meaning in the routines that make up a life. In the Reflections section, the poem “On Ageing” recalls the ageing Ulysses embarking on a new quest as an optimistic view that old age can be a beginning rather than an end. Finally, some thoughts on our shared Covid isolation in “My Library Fridge” and “Acres of Time” demonstrate the variety and relevance of this Reflection of a Life So Far. The works mentioned are just an excerpt from over 50 pieces in this book that I hope you will find inspiring as well as fun to read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Ecclesiastes says that there is a time and a season for everything and a purpose under heaven. You will find that these poems cover spring, summer, autumn, and winter. I feel as though we go through seasons in our lives: spring, when things are just starting to bloom; summer, when everything is right in our lives and the sun seems to be shining; autumn, when our lives start to fall apart like the leaves; and winter, when it is dark and everything seems wrong and with no hope.

Book excerpt: Life has its seasons, and so too does the heart. In this amazing anthology of poems, the author invites you to experience the four seasons of his heart. Representing youth and vitality, “Spring” contains poems of childhood, in all its purity. “Summer” poems embrace the blooming of love, cooled by gentle breezes and warmed by the sun. As the leaves begin to change colour and fall, the poems of “Autumn” find us contemplative, pondering our lives, our memories, and the passage of time. And finally, the “Winter” comes, and with it ... insight, wisdom, loss, and regret—poems from a heart that has weathered life’s full cycle. Unveiling and touching what is human in all of us, Four Seasons: Beyond Autumn Leaves on the Other Side of the Moon is destined to become a cherished addition to any poetry collection.
Download or read book Spring Blossoms and Autumn Leaves written by Michael Rathmell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spring Blossoms and Autumn Leaves: A Collection of Poems The gifts of Nature are showered impartially on poor and rich alike; and Poesy - which is essentially the gift of Nature - has stirred with equal force sympathetic hearts in all ranks of life. The well-to-do have the greater advantage in being able to invite attention to their poetic thoughts; but, in Spite of all obstacles untutored singers of the lower classes have made themselves known, though too many have been perforce content to remain the mute inglorious Miltons of their own immediate circles, through lack of opportunity to be heard elsewhere. That the working classes have produced poets to whom the world has listened, the long roll of names in the literary history of Britain, beginning with Burns and Critchley Prince, bears eloquent testimony. Yorkshire has not been silent in the sweet poetic chorus. It has, and has had, sons and daughters whose tongues have been inspired with the fervour of rich imaginations and a strong desire to uphold the cause of truth and justice. In this little book another Yorkshireman, a true son of the soil, places before his fellows, for praise or condemnation, the outpourings of his poetic mind. Like most poets, to whom the advantages of a good education have been denied, Michael Rathmell writes directly from the heart. Without academic polish, his lines have the true ring of manly thought; and if at times the diction is not so euphonious as it might be, or his Pegasus slightly limps when it should amble gracefully along, at least the sentiments are pure and the language is forcible and appropriate. Michael Rathmell was born at Huby, in the parish of Harewood, in the year 1828. In that pie-education age there v'vas no school of any kind in the village. With a mind singularly attracted by the beauties of Nature - and Nature is beautiful in Wharfedale - young Rathmell, as he grew up, soon felt an instinctive longing for the knowledge that books alone can teach. But the acquisition of these was difficult for a poor country lad. Almost unaided he therefore toiled up the steeps of knowledge, picking up, by diligent reading of the books which came in his way, smatterings of many subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A] confident, mystical, expansive project.”—Publishers Weekly “[D]azzling and timeless . . . focus is so unwaveringly aimed toward the transcendent—not God, but the beloved—that we seem to slip into a less cluttered time.”—The Virginia Quarterly Review, “Editor’s Choice” "Mary Oliver calls him '...a Walt Whitman without an inch of Whitman's bunting or oratory.' In these pages, he is more nearly a modern-day Rumi. This is not primarily a poetry of image, but of ideas, perfectly distilled. Orr brings together the monumental themes of love and loss in small, spare, and exquisite koan-like poems."—ForeWord "...magnetic poems that open the world of lyrical verse to the larger questions of what is true and timeless." —The Bloomsbury Review Gregory Orr continues his acclaimed project on the “beloved” with a lyrical sequence about the joys and hungers of being fully engaged in life. Through concise, perfectly formed poems, he wakes us to the ecstatic possibilities of recognizing and risking love. Mary Oliver has called this project “gorgeous,” and said that he "speaks of the events that have no larger or more important rival in our lives—of our love and our loving." If to say it once And once only, then still To say: Yes. And say it complete, Say it as if the word Filled the whole moment With its absolute saying. Later for “but,” Later for “if.” Now Only the single syllable That is the beloved. That is the world. Gregory Orr is the author of ten books of poetry. He teaches at the University of Virginia and lives in Charlottesville.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This earthly plane offers much for us to learn: happiness, wisdom, loss, heartbreak, and enlightenment. It is a Pandora's box of emotions, situations, opportunities, and failures, all wrapped into a package we call life. Nobody is immune, but everyone has the opportunity to grow tall or wither like a flower in harsh light. It's completely up to us how we choose to respond. Finding Hope in the Darkness of Grief is a gleaning of insights from artist Diamante Lavender. For her, life has been a long, difficult road, but it has taught many poignant lessons. Her poetry collection is an exploration of the human soul, a traversing of situations that life throws at us. Diamante has always been intrigued by the ability to overcome and move on to bigger and better things. She writes to encourage hope and possibility in those who read her stories. If she can help others heal, as she has, then Diamante's work as an author and artist will have been well spent. She believes that everyone should try to leave a positive mark on the world, to make it a better place for all. Writing is the way that she is attempting to leave her markone story at a time.
