Dunt: a poem for a dried up river, Alice Oswald

Posted on June 19, 2021 by Susie Quinsee — No Comments ↓

I haven’t blogged a poem for ages. At first I was a bit stressed that I had failed to blog one every week, then I just thought “lighten up”! Stuff happens and no-one cares so it is fine! Part of Continue reading Dunt: a poem for a dried up river, Alice Oswald→

The Fair Singer, Andrew Marvell

Posted on May 1, 2021 by Susie Quinsee — No Comments ↓

I have to admit to feeling pretty uninspired to post a poem this week and I didn’t post one last week – due to being preoccupied filling a skip and wanted to find a poem about a skip which was Continue reading The Fair Singer, Andrew Marvell→

For Celebration – John O’Donohue

Posted on April 3, 2021 by Susie Quinsee — No Comments ↓

Prologue to Spring by Sylvia Plath

Posted on March 27, 2021 by Susie Quinsee — No Comments ↓

I watched the film Sylvia the other night, which I found incredibly moving and was haunted by the story and characters for a few days. Not just Sylvia’s death, but reading more about Assia Wevill and her death with her Continue reading Prologue to Spring by Sylvia Plath→

My lockdown 3 poem

Posted on March 2, 2021 by Susie Quinsee — No Comments ↓

Bit of self-indulgence this week as I meant to post this earlier and forgot as I was feeling a bit under the weather. Back in January, I did the 64 Million Artists Creative Challenge and one day was tasked to Continue reading My lockdown 3 poem→

The Lost Words Blessing

Posted on February 6, 2021 by Susie Quinsee — No Comments ↓

I’m cheating a bit this week as the “poem” I have chosen isn’t a poem but a song. However it stands alone as poem. I heard it in a yoga class (run by my wonderful friend and new yoga teacher Continue reading The Lost Words Blessing→

Thresholds, by John O’Donohue

Posted on January 24, 2021 by Susie Quinsee — No Comments ↓

Not really a poem this week, although I heard this during a yoga class and it reads like a poem. In the middle of winter, which we are in, and it is gloomy and feels long, endless, the sentiments of Continue reading Thresholds, by John O’Donohue→
