Though no doubt I could go on forever, I
have come to the end of PART 1 of A RAIN
OF BOOKLIGHT a sequence of 40 poems which begin ‘A Book is like… ’.
Beginning the first one A Book is like a River on 11 November, 2014, and ‘the last one’ today 27 November, 2014, I've
just realized that that means I've written 40 short poems in 16 days, as well
as other written work; and I didn’t write for 2 days during that period. I have
enjoyed writing these poems very much and look forward to further sequences in
the future.
PART
2 of RAIN is titled The Placemark Poems; and I’ll begin
writing those tomorrow.
But, for a change, first I will post an earlier piece of writing, from my book THE LIGHT TREE JOURNAL, Portrait of a Lost
Star. The extract is called A String
of Red Beads.
Then, hopefully, I will write another
piece of my new work STORYCHASER, so that
I have a break from working on the BOOK poems for the illustrated collection A BOOK IS LIKE A SACRED ISLE: “A Book about Books.” I am probably crazy, but I am writing these 2 works, (one prose the other poetry,) at the same time.
