Poems People Liked (2): Lyrical, Rhyming & Free Verse

By Jonathan Finch

People, that is editors, liked these poems enough to publish them in small-magazine format, or in books. Some come from a selection of poems published by Howard Sergeant of Outposts Publications. Some of the poems were highly commended or won prizes. The poems are lyrical, they sometimes rhyme, and some are in free verse. They try to compress words and they try to choose right words in right places. Their subject-matter is varied, ranging from imprisonment, nature, mortality, emotion, creativity, deviance, device, dysfunctional relationships and suicide. The first part of "Poems People Liked (2)" concentrates on "The Poison That Leads To Suicide" and singles out guilt as the predominant emotion leading to a wish to die. The second part, "Living," deals with just that, living, but concentrates on those experiences and those thoughts that a poet can elaborate on.
