Poems and prose

A good poem should stand on its own two feet.  I’m not a big believer in having to explain what a poem means.  It may mean something different to each person.  Indeed, it may speak to you in a certain way one day and in an entirely different way the next.  That’s the joy of it.  That said, I do think that sometimes a little bit of context can add to a poem; admittedly it can also take away.  It’s a gamble, but then isn’t all of life a gamble to some degree? With this in mind, each poem will be accompanied by a prose section, providing you with some context around the poem.  

Wordy Wednesdays

My plan is to publish a poem at least once a week. I’m going for mid-week Wednesdays, which I’m calling Wordy Wednesdays because it sounds fun.  Okay, not all poems are fun, but they are all heartfelt.  I can promise you that.  

Finding your way round

Every time I upload a new post (featuring a poem and its accompanying prose), it will appear on the home page. On each consecutive week, the post will move below the more recent post and so on. I’ve set the home page to show a maximum of 5 posts but all earlier posts will remain searchable on the site. You will find the entire poem appear in the box below the prose, and you can scroll through the box to read it. Alternatively, you can click on the download button to access the PDF file.

I am looking forward to connecting with you through creativity! You can keep track of my blog by simply going to www.fiwynne.com whenever the mood takes you, or you can sign up to receive an updated by email once a week that will provide a link to the site. Just click on the link and you will be taken to my home page, where the most recent post will always appear first.

I have created a number of categories and tags, and I will update the site in due course with a category list to aid navigation around the site. This will become necessary as the blog grows and earlier posts disappear from the home page.
