Poets are funny people ... must be writing all that poetry that does it!

Stands to reason ... !

Here's a funny poem about the soul of the poet from 2006.

Now everyone nose  that for a magic spell to work, it has to be like a poem, with rhythm, and of course, it has to rhyme. But oh! Making a poem that rhymes is sooo difficult!!!

Take heart, my witchy friend! Here is an easy peasy lemon squeezy simple little poem and poetry exercise in rhythm and rhyme that will help you rhyme with the best in no time at all.

The original poem "Oceans of Energy" came about because I had to write a course on energy healing for animals and it was such a vast subject, such a big task, that I felt lost. I needed an inspiration.

In these moments, I turn to my energy mind for help and I said, "Give me something to understand energy, what it means, what it is, and how we can use it ..."

The result was this poem, exactly how it stands, no changes, no edits, and this poem then went on to also become the spirit and dedication for EMO energy magic, as well as the title for the first book on EMO which is also called Oceans of Energy.

A healing poem, a poem about angels, a hypnotic poem ...

Enjoy, with love.

I am delighted to hear that a fourth movie from the Riddick universe is on the cards (or a third, if you don't count the animated one). The Chronicles of Riddick wasn't well received when it was first released in 2004, but I think it's an excellent movie for a number of reasons.

A mysterious poem about words, and ancient paper ...

Words on a page - what do they mean?

Poetry personification is a wonderful thing - as old as shamans dancing, "becoming" the bear, the horse, the eagle and in so doing, taking a different point of view, taking a different perspective, learning something important, having an amazing experience. Personification exercises are amongst the most interesting poetry exercises there are - by all means, have a go! This is mine today, I enjoyed writing it, and I hope you enjoy reading the personification poem "I am the wind" :-)

For many years now, I have routinely recommended Laura Ingall's "Little House On The Prairie" as THE book to choose for people who want to learn to read properly - like a proper reader would, not sounding out words on a string but stepping into an alternate reality where you feel, see, hear and EXPERIENCE the story. The reason for this is that Laura Ingalls used to describe the world to her blind sister Mary and thus became an expert at "making the world come to life" for another person in as few words as possible. If, as a writer of poetry or a writer in general, you would like to make it easy for your readers to step into YOUR reality, then Laura Ingalls is the perfect model for this.

Here is a simple poetry exercise based on Laura Ingalls and her unique experiences.

This poetry exercise from 2003 has helped lots of people "get into the flow" of writing poetry that doesn't come from the thinking mind since it was first published. A very useful poetry exercise that goes way beyond "just writing poetry" and every time I do this, I am again and again amazed at the wonderful sensations that come when visions, feelings, images and energies simply stream into your mind, and through your fingertips onto the keyboard. Highly recommended!

People who know how to play Project Sanctuary well have a huge competitive advantage when it comes to psychology and counselling -

• not only do they understand metaphors,
• how to use metaphors correctly,
• when to use them and when not to use them;
• are able to discern if a metaphor is structurally sound,
• and where or if there are problems
• as well as how to solve them;

... but they are also aware just how one EVOLVES the metaphor or as we prefer to call it, THE STORY, so that a person may experience a threshold shift.

These are very valuable skills indeed under any circumstance, but especially so when it comes to Events Psychology memory enrichment, and of course, installation of "absent events" or missing events.

Here is a wonderful example and case story about a man who thought "My father hates me ..."

If we speak a poem about angels, does that draw the angels into your life? It has been said that to have angels helping a person in this life, the person has to take the first step and turn towards the angels ...

Look close, not far away

for angels are amongst us

they are right here, right now,

there is an angel in the room ...

I asked for a Healing Poem today - and received The Starry Gift.

Can you heal me of my days
can you heal me of my years
can you take away the burdens ...?

Brightness rains - read it, but it works best if you stand up and speak it, evoke the energies yourself and feel the change this healing poem brings.

This is bit of fun which came about as I went to a poetry forum which had a section for "wool gathering and strange ideas" - but there wasn't a single entry! How disappointing! I wanted to remedy the situation and make a post. At first I thought I might post about the ultraviolet beings but then instead, wrote this especially ... ..

This poem was written in response to the problem of "How do I introduce myself to people who don't know what I am about in this writer's forum?" 2004

A poem about The Magic Lady, and also a riddle - who is the Magic Lady?

Can you feel her spirit in the wind ...?

Following many requests, here is "The Prayer For A Sick Animal". This healing prayer can be used by Christians as a Christian healing prayer for sick animals, but also by anyone who wants to use the power of prayer for healing.

Forget for a moment all you thought you knew about "art".

Let it all simply slide away, take a deep breath and let your mind fall back, right back through the times of you, the times of your ancestors, the times of men, all the way back and back and back through history until we arrive ...

These worlds, these kingdoms I have seen, they are not anywhere. There are not in this world, they are not even real, they are more like a dream come to life, or a nightmare ....
