“In Heaney’s poems we hear a voice which combines realism with vivid observation. The poetry rings true to life”
I will discuss three of the poems in the light of this comment. How far do I agree?

Me rambling….on and on….I’m posting it anyways. Let’s see what happens…

I’m vivid.

I have recently had some disturbing waking dreams, I ask for help and explain the dreams.

Those that try hard and do not falter in their endeavors, are already on the road to success. The goal may be far; yet if you know your direction, you might get there with persistence.

Sleep falls in black ribbons, sliding through the thin cracks in our mind. Vivid patterns and shaking hands grow restless throughout time.

Glad to meet my love, yet gloomy to numb by love.

A loving tribute to a dear friend’s mother.

A series of uncomfortable thoughts and feelings.

This is one of several poems written in an abstract style about very specific moments that I have encountered which were charged with sensory stimuli. the spacing serves as a visual element, which is very important to me as a visual artist. The spacing also serves as a literal depiction of how one would read the piece: the longer the space, the longer the pause.
