GUTTURAL MUSE by SEAMUS HEANEY A classic piece of observation from a hotel window ,in just three five liners .A view of universal everyday scenes from a 'detached 'poetic viewpoint with imaginative ,yet wistful digressions of the older observer 'poet'* *Ulster poet Seamus Heaney ever a favourite with me In which nostalgic childhood shines through to become a Nobel winner too Lyrical in beauty,dug from the depths of the past. A storyteller, articulate in elegaic stanza writing words to last.Of farm life and childhood, deep in Irish terra firma in which he and his poetry stood. A delightful imagist quality of 'as is moments' once frozen in memory,and now released for our delight .His triplet,quatrain and quintain form brings a succinctness of thought combined with the commonplace A Tribute to Seamus Heaney 1939-2013
