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.

Geneva Lorrain

The Lake
by GENEVA LORRAIN


There is comfort
in low fog
that hugs
the mountain sides.

There is peace
among the ripples
of the lake
that spread out on the water.

There is mystery
in the starless skies,
rain that is falling
on fertile ground.

And I fall asleep...
