Brighid and Poetry

[Fagan_the_Pagan]

Poetry is sex and magic and death. It's the very air that moves through the lungs of all life; it's that feeling you get, the current of life-death energy, when you connect -- I mean really connect - and that can happen when you draw down a god or goddess or when you look at how the leaves blow in the wind and it takes your breath away for a second.

Primal energy. Brighid is primal energy of fire, and poetry is primal energy of fire. Brighid is poetry; She embodies it; Poetry embodies Her.

Like fire, it creates and destroys, because the two are one. It's ephemeral, short lived, like a gasp, a prayer, an orgasm.

This entire post is poetry. Beautiful, Morag!

I'm not sure that I am QUITE as open with my definition of poetry as others, but I do think it extends beyond what we think of it as being nowadays. I think it at least applies to artful storytelling, and to music. Although we also acknowledge "poetry" in any well-put or striking turn of phrase, or in any number of circumstances, so my definition may be too narrow.

I love your description! I am very excited to announce that I have finally published my poetry and art book "Seasons of Time: The Journey of Living" I have been working on it for a few years and I know Brighid has been the inspiration I needed to see it through.

Go here to see a preview of the book http://www.seasonsoftime.com/

I plan to work on some of my unfinished novels next.

Everything.
