I believe good poetry can be written to order – creativity is a skill (creative writing courses and university degrees would be expensive cons otherwise). Here is a cleave poem I have written for the occasion of C & L’s wedding (May 2009). I asked for some salient details and penned this poem using some of the information sent. I plan to do this more often. If you would like me to write a cleave poem for a wedding or special occasion feel free to email me and discuss it.

Cleave poem: Anam Cara  – my soul mate

The sea kisses her feet on a moonlit beach
and races away he sits waiting
from the dawn ‘til now watching the cinema of stars
she kneels and lifts up her book he prays for
and imagines his soul mate within
the pages of Anam Cara if she were real
were unveiled like the wildfowl taking flight on the other side of the bay
waking the day he’d sprint with
those wondrous words tip toes on wave-tops
filling the sky he’d lift her up and
with showers of confetti carry her home, to face the rising sun.

    you’ve captured, I would say, an longing with positivity & hope, reminds me of Pablo Neruda’s work, lovely and full of honest yearnings only a poem can describe
