The world is my Squid
Some say oyster, but I say squid. Squidoo has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me. How wonderful to publish my poetry to the world. Squidoo gives the necessary incentive to produce more work. In this lens you can see the result so far for me.
Poetry
These are lenses of poetry. I've always written a little poetry now and again but since coming to Squidoo my muse seems to be never far away. This is a great joy to me and I hope you can share that joy too.
“God the Infinite dwells with me,
Vaster than the ocean,
Deeper than the sea.”
My first poetry lens which was very well received,much to my pleasure
When my first poetry lens seemed to be getting full I wrote this one
One sad event reminded me of some others and they are altogether in this lens
“I chose another
But we were friends,
All down the long years”
Bob
Bob died in April.
We don't really appreciate the value of a friend until they are gone.
This lens celebrates a life long friendship
Here I try to get an idea of who God is, taking one poem from a previous lens
“You can forget your worries.
He may be asleep
But He is also in charge”
A poem and the basis for a sermon
The manger
I wanted to get away from baby's who don't cry and a pretty image of Christmas.
It must have been tough for Mary.
A poem about what it was really like that first Christmas
I wanted to get away from baby's who don't cry and a pretty image of Christmas. It must have been tough for Mary.
Another poem expanded
Two misunderstood people
How does Jesus look at people?
A poem explained
I like writing poetry, as you will have gathered by now, but I also like to make sure people really understand what I am saying.
Do not judge
Here are my poems grouped together
My challenge to myself
The first of several lenses to contain 365 poems
These poems written mainly in 2011 relate sometimes to the month designated, but also contain quite random subjects, as the mood took me. So although a lot of them relate to the weather and general characteristics of each month, there are other poems on other subjects. There should be something to please everyone.

More of my daily lenses
Michel Quoist sees God in everyday life
Quoist says that prayer comes from everyday experience. God is in everything around us. He has profound things to tell us. He speaks of the meaning of suffering which seems so arbitrary. He speaks from the hospital and the football stadium. He speaks of Jesus on the way to the cross. I've only had the book to borrow for one day and already I can feel it is going to be one of my favourite books and I will need my own copy. A friend lent it to me after reading my poems,thinking I would like it and he was right.

Learn here about a great champion of the recorder
Carl Dolmetsch did a great deal towards encouraging the playing of the recorder in the twentieth century. He revived its use which had declined since the Baroque. His father Arnold had taught him. Arnold was a great authority on almost every type of ancient instrument in Europe.
