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.

William Carlos Williams and Geneva Lorrain


Blizzard
By WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS

Snow:
years of anger following
hours that float idly down-

Winter Times
By GENEVA LORRAIN

Winter times:
skeletons reinstated
on the landscape
for another year,
gray skies, the default,
and many behind horizontal lines
yearn for azure climes
that exist only in cyberspace,
eyes close,
minds grind out the coffee beans
and television screens blare out fantasies
being watched on eyelids.
