Poems in my pocket

I’ve made a selection of poems for Poetry Day tomorrow:

• Return to Nussbaum Riegel by Tim Jones
• Wabi-sabi by Helen Lehndorf
• The most beautiful love poem of all time by Hera Lindsay Bird
• Neon lights by Robin Hyde

I am planning to have a poetic start to the day at Poetica’s launch, 619 Colombo Street.

Arohanui to all the poets of Aotearoa.

You rock my world, you really do.

Phantoms of Poetry in your face

  

I’m a big fan of Phantom Billstickers support of poetry. In earthquake damaged Christchurch, a beautiful poem popping up on a building that is looking rough is a kind of poetic fist.

Happy Poetry Day tomorrow y’all.
