poem - A Flower of..

A poem about how I see myself
Jan Hedger www.janscreativewriting.co.uk


A Flower of the Mountain

I would grow beside the cool crystal water
To bear witness to the birth of its being
With its orchestration of musical sound
Pure and sweet in its joy of living
Tumbling and twisting and rushing to be
A winding river that leads to the sea.

I would unfurl mine eye to meet the sun
And there in its light an eagle is soaring
With powerful ease and beauty sublime
Bronzed and golden wings far- reaching
Rising and falling and proud to be
Untamed, unfettered and wild like me.

For the flower I’d be, is the person I am
A seasoned survivor through adversity
With delicate strength of gentian blue
Uncomplicated in my simplicity
Alone, but oh; never lonely am I
In such beauty, at one with the sky.

Hi all budding writers,

On this wonderful site, I believe we have many budding writers, so I thought I would share with you the Flow for All competition/forthcoming book publication.

I belong to this group and submit to their site and had a poem of mine in their first anthology last year, performing it at the launch in the presence of their patron Dame Vera Lynn!

As a Brummie born and bred, I grew up with the stories of how the war affected lives in Birmingham - The Birmingham Blitz etc. I have visited the threads on this site for WW1 and WW2 and a thread itself titled the Birmingham Blitz - please look at the Flow for All site - share your work with a wider audience - speak out for Birmingham!

Attached is a flier and also a link for you to follow.

Admin please put this in the right place for maximum attention - let the talent be shared!

Regards Jan Hedger
