Check out amazing poetry: http://www.writerscafe.org/eiliswren

I read you,

again

and again,

and decided

I was not a poet.

For your words

simply spill

in imaginative

descriptive

and emotive ink,

and I know

none

who could today

paint

in oil

with such mastery.

[Wayfaring stranger]

I find on this web sites are so many great poets and writers who are completly unnoticed. I think it will be great idea if you make like every months poem about some forgotten authhor who is here.


Eilis is really great author but also person who you can have conversation about writing. Sometimes i am really tired from people who just say my writing is great but who basicaly say nothing about what i wrote. So i am very glad some people here actually reading others works and make connections .

Of course there are many good and some great poets on WC. Yes I agree Thomas; too many platitudes. People should say more and discuss writing or we do not develop. Many thanks for reading and commenting.

[kentuck14]

I would agree whole heartedly.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thanks Tom. She does not see herself so.

[Shazbatt969]

I have read and I agree wholeheartedly, your poem is okay too, lol

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Glad you do and many thank yous!

This is very kind, John. Truth be told, I am always holding myself up to other poets and wondering how I can reach their heights. I don’t see myself at all as a great writer, just someone trying to get it down like so many others.

I guess it’s just part of the creative process to see something we love in someone else’s work and want to find a way to it. I guess it’s one of the things that keeps us writing. Thanks to you.

I have the good fortune to have read some really great poets her on WC but rarely there are amazing poets whose work is so well developed and holds everything we all aspire to. The fact you are humble and look to learn from others shows you are a real artist, somone always striving to learn and improve. A few true poets/writers are natural and the words form from ther comprehension of language, their ability to see and feel the world and their desire to share their feelings.

Eilis is an enchanting poetess. Her writing style is elegant.
And her reviews are astute.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Indeed and she shines among many stars.

[Mrudula Rani]

Eilis is spelled differently...

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Typo! Thanks

[Chris Shaw]

She is without a doubt a top class poet, and this is a fine tribute to her talent John.

Chris

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Indeed Chris she is. I am fortunate enough to live in the shadow of some outstasnding contemporary poets. Many thanks.

oh yeah well we could all bloody well try... my flagellation crop has many sharp ink pens affixed for that very purpose! The flagella by the way is the whip like tail of cells used for locomotion (kind of ironical huh) words... cant live with um wont live without um. I too feel this way often my friend and then i just keep righting:) nice write by the way

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ah makes me want to shrivel and simply disappear!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, I love her poetry as well...fantastic writing.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Indeed Jacob you and Ellis are top of the class.
