Weejo100 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hi there, I've just finished reading this compilation of poetry and loved it!! It is wonderful that someone is giving new poets an outlet and opportunity to be published. I loved nearly all of the poems and look forward to more especially from Graham Allen and John Saunders!! How to Mend a Broken Vase by John Saunders Near invisible shards lurk in dark corners or closet in crevices with oven glazed fragments that will defy smooth assembly. A gift from the honeymoon of singing waiters and bright yellow moons where discord was an out-of-town stranger, its broken bones now lie on the floor, its long shelf life ended. She gathers up with porcelain hands, knows repair can only happen with a bond that holds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiggy Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Love the poem. It has a compelling message about how the things we love can have such sentimental value. But the amazing thing that touches me the most about it, is that sweet memories which, like the vase, lie in fragments can be looked back upon, like life, and kept though they are scattered throughout a lifetime, and remind you who or where you once were. And that such a bond, between the present and the past is worth holding onto, even when something breaks your heart and you have to look beyond tragedy. thanks for sharing.
