The famous English poet John Keats said, “An object of
beauty gives us perennial joy. Beauty never fades and is not devalued. A thing of beauty is a joy forever and it
makes us forget the sorrows and sufferings of the world.”
Keats also conceptualized beauty as truth and truth as
beauty. He said, “Beauty is truth, truth beauty that is all ye know on earth,
and all ye need to know. Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are
sweeter.”
Another famous English poet, William Wordsworth said,
“Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found
words. Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks. Poetry is
the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion
recollected in tranquillity.”
All the above describes the beautiful poetry in the book,
and what makes it special.
It will be a beautiful asset to your library.
The book is on Amazon in Kindle Version and Paperback.

THE DYING SWAN
THE DYING SWAN
The dying swan turned round and around.
Tiptoeing on the hard and concreted ground.
Stunningly beautiful and graceful in its steps.
At Stollmeyer's Castle, we gasped for breath.
*
Its astounding performance, we watched in awe.
Such a wondrous act we had never seen before.
The part was played by one of Minshall’s men,
In the Land of the Humming Bird, a Carnival band.
*
Walking on stilts, he climbed the high stage,
To receive his prize, and the crowd was amazed.
The presenter of the prize stood on the highest elevation.
To present to the Dying Swan his well-earned token.

WORLD POETRY DAY
WORLD POETRY DAY
Poetry has been around since ancient Biblical times.
King David, Moses, and King Solomon wrote the
Psalms.
Poets share ideas, express emotions, and create
imagery.
And proudly present them to readers in beautiful poetry.
*
With poetry, we can write about anything we feel.
True things, and even things unreal.
Poetry can take us into an enchanted world.
A land of dreams, reality, hope, and places untold.
*
Poetry can be used to express something artistically.
The use of rhyme and rhythm contributes magically.
Thoughts and ideas can be arranged in stanzas,
Making the language simple to connect with readers.
*
Poetry is long-lived, and an important part of art and
culture.
Blank verse, rhymed, free verse, narrative, and Tanka,
Pastoral, sonnet, elegies, odes, limericks, epics, and
haiku.
Even Soliloquy, villanelle, lyrical, ballad, and Gogyohka
too.
*
When I visited Shakespeare’s hometown, I grew to love
Poetry.
Like a stranger standing at my door, it waited to greet
me.
It brought out the best in me and made me happy.
On World Poetry Day, I display my poetry books proudly.

LAND OF THE HUMMING BIRD
On 26th February 2024, the formal opening of an exhibition to commemorate the 50th anniversary to celebrate Peter Minshall’s revelatory 1974 Carnival presentation, “From the Land of the Humming Bird,” was held.
The exhibition was co-curated by Kathryn Chan and Austin Fido, in association with the Minshall Mas Foundation, the Frank and Myrtle Cleghorn Foundation, which provided seed financing, and the partnership of Castle Killarney (Stollmeyer’s Castle).
Frank and Myrtle Cleghorn are the deceased parents of Trinidad-born Dr. Farley Cleghorn, an infectious disease specialist living in Washington, and who has been involved in great humanitarian work.
Dr. Cleghorn gave an eloquent and touching speech about why he and his family supported the exhibition financially.
Hundreds were in attendance.
Admission was free, and sumptuous refreshments were served.
The organizers deserving of mention for their kind support of the project were the National Carnival Commission, the Carnival Institute, the National Archives, Francis Lau Construction Company Ltd, Jimmy Aboud and Company Ltd, The National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago, Angostura Ltd, and Business Supply Group Ltd.
