Dejavu

That face, I have seen.
Familiar this place, where I have never been?
I’ve heard before, these words of love.
I’ve sat on this chair; have walked on this path.
In yesterday, this new child born.
I have read the news of tomorrow’s dawn.
Or maybe, just, these words make sense.
A flash, a glimpse, or cognizance.

Gary Bateman Date: 6/17/2015 1:39:00 PM Hello Gavin, I see that you are relatively new to PoetrySoup. A Big Welcome from me!! You've already read one of my poems, and I certainly invite you to read more of them -- as you choose. (I also recently published a new book of poetry, which is listed in the PS classified ads and on the PS Blog. "Dejavu" here is wonderful free verse write. The glimpsing nature of things or events as you've articulated throughout your verses captures deja vu's fleeting essence and remembrance. A "7"! Best, Gary Login to Reply Gary Bateman Date: 6/17/2015 4:30:00 PM Thanks Gavin!! WOW, South Africa and you own your own publishing company!! And so it looks like I'm not telling you anything you don't already know about book publishing. I hope you do obtain a copy of my first book of poetry ("Conversations with My Muse"). I would like to be able to order your books as well. (It's easier for me being in Germany to order them via Amazon.de or Amazon.uk. Is this possible?? Where is the Smashwords distributor located?? I can Goggle it. My first book was right at 200 pages or so. The second one will be much longer -- estimating 400-500 pages since I'm working on a longer development timeline. Thanks for your introduction and information. I will keep your publishing company in mind for sure. I sense we may have some professional engagements in the future. It's all good Gavin!! Best Regards, Gary Gavin Joachims Date: 6/17/2015 3:44:00 PM Thanks Gary! I live in South Africa and own a publishing company, Gavin Joachims Publishing (Pty) Ltd. I'm also Founder & Director of a non-profit, The Social List. I'm a published author: "The Sands and My Dream - A book of blue skies", "Colour of Love" and "Life of Dick" all at Smashwords and locally in South Africa in hardcopy. I love writing and always looking for great authors. All best with your new book! Kind regards, Gavin Gary Bateman Date: 6/17/2015 2:15:00 PM No Problem Gavin. I'm very busy actually writing on my second book now which won't be read for quite a while. It will have both poetry and short stories. I will try to drop by when I can and read more of your poetry. (I always respond, even if it takes a couple of days or so.) The title of my first book, BTW, is: "Conversations with My Muse," and it's available worldwide and on Amazon, and can be ordered from any book store as well. Best Wishes to You!! Gary Gavin Joachims Date: 6/17/2015 2:03:00 PM Hi Gary, thanks for the warm welcome. I look forward to read more of your work and your book. Thanks for your comments and rating. Appreciated! I look forward to our future sharing, Regards, Gavin
