Welcome to Readers and Poets

This is the poetry that comes into my life. Please feel free to comment on anything here. I don't think there is too much beauty in the world nor poetry. I will include some comments myself sometimes and some information on the poets, but the real stars is the work itself.



I am a believer in the reader-response theory of reading which means the reader is the one who puts the meaning in the poem so every interpretation is correct. Even if the poet means one thing, it could mean something else to the reader. I am pretty laid back in interpretation as each of us have other experiences and needs when reading.



I like using Zebrareader because it gives me tremendous freedom in what I want to write.

The Apple Tree by GENEVA LORRAIN


The Apple Tree

echo of Eden
time long past
where we did not belong.
who is keeping a record
of all this?
do they even understand
you and me?

God waltzes in, beard unfrocked
except He didn't.
There was no apple tree there
It's in my garden
heavy with fruit.
