W.H.Auden an inspiring Author poet playwright
My second choice is #leanardCohen An extraordinary man with talent that will live on long after he is gone. He will fill the heaven’s with passion and song. A thousand kisses deep.
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea In a beautiful pea green boat, They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five pound note. The Owl looked up to the stars above, And sang to a small guitar, ‘O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are, You are, You are! What a beautiful Pussy you are!’ Edward Lear.

W.H. Auden The most eloquent of poets my first one learned was this,The plan was to step up to the challenge to take 3 poets you love and use their essence to create my own on a canvas fresh, I began thinking it too huge a task and it was for me. How do you step into the arena with these? GIANT’S of men and words. I baulked at the idea of choosing my favourites; how the hell do you choose? This is how I did.
E.Lear my earliest remembered poem.
you see The challenge didn’t stand a chance. I couldn’t choose my three favorite poets or even three poems, so there was a hope in hell of me publicly pitting my self beside them. And Cohen the voice that soothed a broken teenage heart. So while the going is good i lay some of the best before you… no competiton.
To see the exercise in poetry and to be inspired press 🔜 creative and good luck to those that can.😇
Has a challenge you meant to take been a step too far? or have you excelled?
And did you enjoy… slip answers gracefully into the comments i will feel as if i have somehow been forgiven for failing.thank you.

You brought back many happy memories for me with the Owl and the Pussycat. I used to recite it to my children when they were babes.

It has a flow that is easy to remember and a whimsy that seems grown up. I’m glad you had memories woken. 😇

This is lovely selection of poems. But as we all have many poems and poets we love, you can play around with different combinations..you can write more than poem 🙂 You can adjust the challenge according to your own preferences…the only goal is to get inspired and keep writing – as you did produce this blog post. Mission accomplished I would say 😉
