Wedding cleave poem
2009 March 16
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
