A dancer's ink: poetry

By Marjorie Orr

In 'A Dancer's Ink' Marjorie Orr explores emotions, politics and words to find what is true. She "....pleads with the paper to stay still...as the lazy sun reclines". She talks about "...the bipolar land fractured..." and in the poem 'some have twisted' she writes "they can no longer/see in their funny/house of mirrors/ of themselves". There are poems about 'The Cheddar Man' and Space X and even poems about poems, childhood and Queen Victoria. In the poem, 'the sun is palpable' she ends with "....the bequeath of bouquets/ of broken promises". comments: Thought Provoking and pensive from the inside out. Really wonderful reading, but not poems to be taken lightly. I love the way she plays on words making little rhymes or same beginning or ending syllable, or even the same word twice with different meanings. It takes the reader on a ride through the mind of an extremely gifted person.
