I rewrote this poem, changed the title, added the last verse.  I think I may leave it alone now, but one never knows :)

(Inspired by ‘Another Solitary Reaper’  by Wordsworth)

I visited Wordsworth Trust in Grasmere this morning.  They have established a poetry blog and are inviting poems from the public for consideration.  They are selecting some for publication on their website.  They are specifically asking people to read 'The Solitary Reaper' by Wordsworth and write a poem inspired by his poem.  So this is my effort.  If anyone wishes to do the same you could publish the poem here and then contact Simon Davies at Wordsworth Trust by email or send a link to your poem on Hello Poetry.  I think I will try the latter.   Simon's email address is:  S.Davies@wordsworth.org.uk.

My idea worked well;  I copied the Hello Poetry url link and pasted it in my comment on the Wordsworth comments page.........i.e

I wrote a poem inspired by this Wordsworth poem and I uploaded it to a web poetry site (link above). What struck me about the poem was not the actual imagined idyllic experience of a surprised eavesdropping walker, listening to a well-sung song, it was for me, the non-awareness of the singer that she was being listened to and enjoyed; I found this to be the most interesting aspect of the described scene. Thank you for the encouragement to read this poem and be inspired by it Simon _/\_

First attempt at a 'Prose Poem'.  On July 7th I will be attending a monthly meeting of local poets at Wordsworth Trust in The Lakes District in Grasmere and the topic for that meeting will be Prose Poetry.  I know nothing about Prose poetry but the first sample I saw from the poet who will be leading the discussion did interest me so I thought I would try one.

I awoke with this highly unusual and exquisitely detailed dream.  I have been happily single for two years with my archive full of most satisfying journals that I have never needed to actually revisit, because I just knew they were there and any time spent going over the experiences would be a type of unnecessary self-torture.  I doubt they could be improved upon.  But recently I have begun to have new dream experiences that rival and even exceed the bliss of the archives.  I don't know what this means;  I suspect it is important but I am not sure how or why yet.  Perhaps someone is in the wings?  Perhaps some seductive spirit nymphs are playing with me?  Regardless, I enjoyed this dream very much and there were NO complications!  A few poems have manifested from these dream experiences.  Here is this morning's.  I really did enjoy this 'visitation' :)  The poem is succinct;  I don't have the time to provide a detailed one, I have a busy day.  So this is a 'quickie' poem :)

This is not a poem, ( think ) I just wanted to place it, as a first draft
of whatever it will end up becoming

Mary is a neighbor who recently died after having to move house because of the recent floods here in Windermere, UK.  She was quite old and it may be coincidental, but I suspect the upheaval was hard for here to manage in some ways.  Her life was quite controlled and pleasant before the flood.

I go to Wordsworth Trust to a meeting of local poets once a month.  A poet will lead a session on prose poetry next month so I thought I should try one out.  I think I had better google 'Prose Poetry' to find out.
