Poetry Life and Times

No matter what your religion or spiritual leaning, poetry has the power to move us all.

Our friend Robin Ouzman Hislop has just taken over the editorship of the UK's formost poetry e-zine, Poetry Life and times, and his first edition his the web this week.

Check it out, and if you are a closet poet maybe you will consider submitting some of your work for consideration. Robin may be a pagan like us ancient gods but the only criterium for inclusion in the mag is quality. Quality is measured by skilful use of language and metre, by imagery, style and success in commicating ideas.

So if you think you are good enough why not have a go.

Fires of Love

Mood: pissed (in the British sense)
Listening to: The Pogues

Today, May 1st, is one of the greayest festivals of the year for followers of the Tuatha de Danaans, so of course we are all totally off our divine faces on the rare ould stuff and not fit to write any sort of entry.

You might like to teleport (its a god thing) over to Authors Den and check out Fires of Love, Ian Thorpes wonderful Beltane poem with a full write up on the significance of the festival and its purification and fertility rites.
