It's a great treat to have time off on Sunday to recall the poems of Fleur Adcock ... I had the good fortune to meet the Lady Poet in person a number of years ago. She read her poems to a packed house.

In the main Fleur Adcock remains essentially ... poetic and draws, according to the talk she gave the audience in Dublin over 10 years ago, significantly from her rich New Zealand background She made a point too of her long term residency in the United Kingdom and this has a great influence upon her writings.

It's a pleasure to read such well constructed verse THINK BEFORE YOU SHOOT is a short section of verse and refers to Tigers in their native habitat and how we are killing off wild animals right, left, and centre. The reference to /bluebells/ is apposite as it creates a wonderful sense of nature and art simultaneously positioned in this poem. My garden stretched forth from modern architecture to Georgian Town Houses and the stretch of land between the two was covered in bluebells - though there certainly were no tigers in sight at that point in time to shoot! Tigers are easier to shoot that to like! With the present controversy in Animal Welfare we have to try and like them anyway I suppose! Though children are warned that they are dangerous animals and you must try to keep your distance - best observed in a circus ... behind bars or in a cage ... others believe, that the Safari Park is the ultimate choice for these wild animals! In fact, I did visit a Safari Park and saw the creatures well and truly looked after by the park keepers and owners of the Safari Park!

Fleur Adcock has written a number of collections and she has they say a /woman's eye view of the world/ according to Adrian Henri. In the intervening 10 years since meeting this Lady Poet/Fleur Adcock I have written poems about CATS and DOGS! There was such a fuss when both our cat and dog died and I have invited to write about them and the poems have been a great success in financial and poetic terms!

AN ILLUSTRATION TO DANTE ... is a poem that creates that marvellous feeling of touching the ground and standing up again without too much stress ... there are ... /Paolo/ and /Francesca/ in a circle of Hell and further along the verse is /Ruskin/ and /Rossetti/ 'didn't know how to do hail' Nice juxtaposition of
modern Italian and European culture! /he could do tenderness/ ... or if you like the ebbing and flowing of words then read on ... great stuff in poetic placings.
