Ivor Davies Poet Rhyme

Poetry of Life

The poetry I never wrote
fades on the wings of time,
but somewhere deep within my heart
is etched each single line.

It haunts me as a silent ghost
as fleeting memories fail,
but on my soul forevermore
its sentiments prevail
.
Though never meant for me to share
it guides my every day,
and touches everyone I meet
as I pass on my way.

Not everything I see or hear
will shape the way I stride, 
but poetry inscribed by life
will always be my guide.

Ivor G Davies

Howard Tunick May 13, 2015 at 9:03 PM Another really beautiful and beautifully constructed poem Ivor. You are first on my favorites list. I have purchased your book from Amazon but it has not arrived yet. It is promised but this is longest it's ever taken an Amazon purchase to arrive. Very much looking forward to it. Ivor Davies May 14, 2015 at 8:37 AM Howard, my apologies for Amazons delay, they are still probably deciphering the hieroglyphics! I must admit my personal copy is becoming full of my corrections just in case I publish again. Judy.... I will endevour to get Eric (fairplay) to join Poetry Soup although he can be quite contentious and not nearly as cuddly as I am! Judy Konos May 13, 2015 at 9:05 PM Hello Howard....Judy here...I bought Ivor's book a while back and I love it...Mine is called Ivor's Ramblings....He is super talented with reality and he has a brother ...wish he would join soup...goes by the name of Fairplay....and he too is amazing..Must have something to do with England....

Edwin Hofert May 13, 2015 at 7:40 PM This truly is incredible! The entire concept is inspiring and intriguing at the same time. No question it's a 7 and then some and a favorite of mine! God bless! Ed Ivor Davies May 14, 2015 at 8:24 AM Thanks Edwin, I find writing poetry always makes one examine oneself and forces you to personally strive for the values you write about. Ivor
