Create Poetry 2021
sharing our heart's voices

Anyone can create and perform wonderful inspired poetry, despite many fears about not being able to. At a Bards In The Woods session one woman had left here poems at home, so I asked her, "What scraps of paper are in your purse?". She had a shopping list. I asked "Read that" ... and she did, and the passion with every item she read out expressed to us the feeling she had for each item. Beautifully done, and real poetry.

Now I am not inviting everyone to submit your poetic potential shopping lists, but part of this session will be dedicated to your compilation of random thoughts about what you are feeling and sensing, and putting these together as amazing freeform or lyrical poetry.

So for this 'Nature Folklore' session on Sunday I am inviting you to share your poetry, written or spontaneous, even if it is a newly created first draft written to share on this show or words hidden away and dusted off.

To share your poetry, please message me to arrange being live on Sunday, or submitting your pre-recorded video clips, photos, and audio clips. I can assemble these into short videos for broadcast.

When you submit videos and photos, please, please, please, submit videos in good 'ol fashioned Landscape format and not the tiktok, instagram, lollypop licking Portrait format. Let's surround ourselves with landscapes again. 

Looking forward to you sharing your poetry and joining our craic on Sunday with or without your poetry. Do message me about this

Next Nature Folklore Sessions Live - Sunday 12th September, at 2pm Irish Time Watch here Live! ... or watch the archive later (click pic to set reminder) Tree Sanctuaries Autumn Gathering support for Your Tree Sanctuary desires A time and opportunity to recap on where we are with our Tree Sanctuaries and Tree Sanctuary ideas. This is a time when trees are truly turning colour around us in many places where we live. It is also a time we start to think about and plan our next tree planting season between November and March. This year I will talk about changes that I feel we need to make regarding our attitude and expectations of Tree Planting.  This includes encouraging nature's own regeneration planting and not being in such a rush or over ambitious with our own planting.                                                                                                                                     This also serves as a follow up to our March 'Us An

This is part two of a two part Nature Folklore session exploring the folklore and mythologies of Crom Cruach and Crom Dubh. It is a challenge to separate the two as similar tales are told of both legends. But it does seem that the Crom Dubh mythology arrived later than the reverence for Crom Cruach as a god. The tales of Crom Cruach and Crom Dubh are very intertwined these days. Though nobody really knows the origins and details of either I am going to approach this as Crom Cruach being symbolic as a bringer of harvests, and Crom Dubh as a metaphor mythology of what happens
