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.

I hear My World by Geneva Lorrain


From my window...

I hear
a owl somewhere
a woodpecker nearby
Canada geese honking as
they are fly over head

From my bed...

I hear
the clock's second hand ticking
the furnace kicking on and off
the small fridge humming, singing
the pages of my book turn
the pen move across a journal

The laptop on my lap...

I hear the beeping of it being turned on
the click of the change of programs
Twitter, Facebook, news, Google

I hear my world
