Gedichte

Kirjassa kerron omia ajatuksia arjessa ja arjen ympärillä, useimmiten kuitenkin arjessa, kiireen keskellä, hiljaisuuden äärellä, isojen asioiden äärellä... Rakkaus, syntymä, juhla, kuolemakin, ilot ja surut, näitä kaikkia päässäni on liikkunut vuosien ajan ja nyt vihdoin olen saanut koottua niistä tällaisen kokoelman. Kirjaa tehdessä ajatuksia tulee lisää, mutta nyt oli pistettävä piste, ja laitettava uudet jutut odotuslistalle. Ehkä jonain päivänä sitten saan aikaiseksi jotain lisää.Iso rooli kirjassa on kuvat, valokuvista olen pyrkinyt löytämään jonkinlaisen yhteyden tekstiin, ja jotkut etenkin lahjaksi saadut kuvat on sanoitettu ihan varta vasten. Yksi piirustuskin mukana on, erään lahjakkaan lapsen pyynnöstäni Kuumailmapallot laulun sanoihin sovitettu upea taideteos.Toivon, että kirjasta on arkeen iloa, vaikka runo, ajatelma, sanaparsi kerrallaan. Toivottavasti joku löytää tätä lukiessa ja katsellessa innon jonkin oman jutun eteenpäin vientiin.Oman käden jälki... tuntuu hyvältä...

Jedes der Gedichte erzählt eine Geschichte.Eine Welle erreicht zum ersten Mal den Strand, wird aber enttäuscht, denn dort ist nichts außer Sand. Ein Beamter muss in die Hölle, um die Sicherheitsvorschriften zu überprüfen, und ein Junge verliebt sich in einen Rosenbusch, der jedoch nicht die gleichen Gefühle hegt. Getrieben von Forscherdrang und Wissbegierde müssen die Charaktere am Ende oftmals mit unvorhergesehenen Konsequenzen leben. Ausgewählte Gedichte der klassischen Gattung, die Martin M. Lindner im Alter zwischen achtzehn und einundzwanzig Jahren verfasst hat. Entstanden sind sie auf Reisen durch Italien und in der Wiener Heimat, inspiriert durch mythologische Elemente, persönliche Erlebnisse und spirituelle Erfahrungen.

¿ Miss mich! ¿ entdecke jede meiner Ecken und Kanten, dunkle wie helle Flecken, ohne das Geheimnisvolle dabei ganz verschwinden zu lassen. Mein Weg führte mich über eine Ausbildung zur Goldschmiedin und durch ein Kunst-studium der Schmuckgestaltung. Während dieser Zeit und nach Abschluss des Studiums wurde das Schreiben immer wesentlicher für mich. Anders als bei der Herstellung eines Schmuckstücks, welche viel Planung und genaue Abläufe erfordert, entstehen meine Texte und Bilder meist schnell und intuitiv. Oft aus einer Emotion heraus. Die hier gezei-gten Bilder stammen alle aus einem einzigen Skizzenbuch, welches ich oft mit mir trug, so dass die Bilder an verschiedensten Orten ihren Ursprung fanden. Einige der Zeichnungen und Gedichte, die im Zeitraum der letzten 4 Jahre entstanden, sollen hier in diesem Buch zu-sammenfinden und miteinander in Dialog treten. Es geht um die ganz kleinen Dinge im großen Ganzen, um tägliche Handlungen, die uns Halt geben und um Veränderungen, welche uns diesen nehmen können.

Der Titel der Reihe entstand aus der Hilflosigkeit eine Ordnung in die Vielfalt der Themen zu bekommen, die Karin Hartel in ihren Texten verarbeitet. Der Untertitel entstand in einem der fruchtbaren Küchengespräche mit einer Freundin. "Darf man böse sein?" war die Frage die mit Kaffee und Zigarette beleuchtet wurde. Gemeinsam stellten die Freundinnen fest, dass jeder auch einmal böse sein kann, dass sogar Lyrik manchmal böse sein muss, um ehrlich zu sein. Und da war man schon beim nächsten Thema: Ehrlichkeit. Ohne die geht nichts, wenn man Gutes in die Welt setzen will.

Ce recueil n'est pas une histoire d'amour typeOu une réelle utopie à proprement parlerMais ce sont toutes les phases possiblesQui, dans une relation, peuvent exister.

The Rivers Are Inside Our Homes handles themes of loss and exile, aging generations, fable and fairy tale, marriage and hurt, with the island of Cuba at its heart.These incandescent poems by Cuban American poet Victoria María Castells explore how we can salvage our notion of paradise in an overspent Eden. In thwarted homes located in Havana and Miami, Rapunzel and her prince, persecuted nymphs, Morgause, and Bluebeard¿s wife speak to us directly, all in need of returning to safety. Confronting machismo, illness, heartbreak, and isolation, the poems depict how women are at the mercy of men, either husband or oligarch. Yet all generations of Cubans are bombarded with this need to return or to leave, to have both, to have neither.Meanwhile, hurricane seasons add further instability to shelter and family, growing fiercer every year. Exile and displacement are accepted as permanent conditions. Latin America will mirror Cubäs violent struggles as conquered land and despotic object. From the colonial desecrations to fraught revolutionary aftermath, the search for home is lyrically charted by this contradictory land of suffering and dreams. Through these poems, dictators, grandmothers, mythical characters, and buccaneers are given voices of equal strength, challenging what constitutes truth under a prism of fantasy and desire.

"Behind the wheel of this book is an insistent, humorous voice whose experiences have lent themselves to a deep, intimate knowledge of survival, driven by the pursuit of joy and exalted pleasure. Raised in and near auto body shops, Vickie Vâertiz remembers visiting them to elevate the family car to examine what's underneath, to see what's working and what's not. The poetry in this book is also a body shop, but instead we take our bodies, identities, desires, and see what's firing. In this shop we ask: What needs changing? How do our bodies transcend ways of being we have received so that we may become more ourselves?"--Page 4 of cover.

Many people of the world have followed the path shown by Mahatma Gandhi and have brought prosperity to themselves and their societies.It is often thought that the principles of Mahatma Gandhi are too hard to be followed by a common man. But when we share success stories of everyday people who have followed his teachings and prospered, we come to know that his principles are easily followed by anyone, anywhere, anytime, and would produce the same results - prosperity and welfare. Undoubtedly, he is ever relevant. Forgetting him is equal to forgetting love, peace, truth, justice and ahimsa* in the world.To inculcate good manners, respect, peace, harmony, values, culture and ethics to young children and youth in the world so as to ensure that they can become good citizens across the world in the future and to educate against the evil effects of wrongs, this book will help because the thoughts and philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi are most relevant today.

Poetry plays an important role in the Bible, and this suggests it should have some role in the life of Christian faith. The essay in this book argues that Christians today must rediscover the role of poetry in the life of faith, and that some, at least, should be open to receiving a calling to poetry as part of their service to the Lord.

Dans le jardin is a found heritage, those families of unicorns that alight with the gift of lightness and purpose. God, so wise to choose the wee ones (insects) to pollinate our gardens, is a miracle to behold. Treatise here attests to the elegance of wonderment of the multitude of species that, due to minute size, do not bend the stalks of flowering plants. As they metamorphize into pollinators, they gather nectar and, in turn, nourish us. Included here as well in the haiku treatise are the hummingbirds and their slight winged wind, again a testament to the lightness of being - also a pollinator by God's scheme. Within haiku, a poem, and the all elusive picturae, you find the daily joys of a gardener, tending to all.

In summer 2022, poet and artist Bruce Rimell visited the Coasts of Antrim, Northern Ireland. After a lifetime reading Irish mythology, and wandering that ancient landscape in his mind for years, this was the first time he had set foot on the physical island itself. Unsurprisingly, his imagination caught fire, and 'Beeley far The North' is the result.Framed as a picaresque jaunt around the region of Ballycastle, taking in notable legends and landmarks from around the town as well as Rathlin Island, this eccentric narrative poem takes as its primary inspiration the Middle Irish tale 'Buile Suibhne', or, in Seamus Heaney's translation 'Sweeney Astray'.Rather than retell this tragic story of this frenzied and cursed figure, half wildman half broken bird, through a different perspective, however, Bruce chose to take poor Suibhne's madness as a character to inhabit, eyes through which to experience this part of Ireland in a madcap way which mirrored the rapid "seven days, eight nights" of his sojourn there.In doing this, he has also tentatively begun to forge something of a new, unconventional, and hopefully unique, approach to psychogeography, which he has playfully termed the beeley. Oddly unorthodox but always vibrant in tone, 'Beeley Far The North' is an experiment in trying to speak of the human dynamics of landscape in a fresh and hyperactive way.

This is a collection of poems from my early years, as young as 12 to more current times, my mid to late 30s. These are just expressions I had during times of happiness or anger. Sometimes I even wrote about my heartbreaks. This was very therapeutic for me. I hope you enjoy it.

In this collection, we delve into Farahat's unique perspective, which offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Egyptian life and culture. His poetry exhibits a distinctive Nubian specificity, capturing the essence of this often-overlooked community and celebrating their contributions to Egyptian society.One of the defining traits of Farahat's work is his affinity for the Egyptian common man. Through his verses, he depicts the details of everyday life in Egypt, unraveling the intricacies and complexities that shape the experiences of ordinary people. This focus on the common man serves as a bridge, connecting readers to the heart and soul of Egyptian society.The land of Egypt, with its unparalleled historical and cultural heritage, features prominently in Farahat's poetry. However, it is the majestic Nile River that assumes a central role within his verses. Referred to as "the Nile bride," the river serves as both a symbol and a muse, weaving its way through the fabric of his work and immersing readers in its ancient allure.
