      March 14, 2015Let’s Say the RainOscar Brady

      Let’s say the rain
      ate the sea
      then poured it out.
      Let’s say the wind
      discovered the cliffs.
      You think that nothing happened
      even though the horse
      ate the house of hay.
      I left for my new world
      my new life
      and my new way of eating.
      And now when I look back
      I can’t remember.

      from 2015 RYPA

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “I like to write poetry because it keeps my brain busy and lets me think. I like poetry because it makes words sound just right. When I write a poem the sound of the words can put more interest into a short space and it can be read in a certain and very particular way … just the way I want it to sound.”
