Disaster and Poetry

In the midst of troubling times, Contributing Poet H. E. Mantel gives us these timely poems:  

• -JUNE 2010>-

• - A TALE OF TUT-TUT TURTLE -

And Contributing Poet Donal Mahoney sends us his poems expressing the essence of being a poet in this poem:  

• Kaleidoscope and Harpsichord

 Natural and man made disaster offer bountiful opportunity for a poet, but then again, so does life.  As I am simultaneously blessed by works from these two accomplished poets, I am first moved to think about our stewardship of the planet and then to think about our stewardship of our time.  

One of the things poetry does best is make you think.  

Thanks once again, Donal and H. E. Mantel, for sending us your excellent work.
