What is this?

this is the home of The Beachcomber.

these are the ramblings of a confuséd individual.
that some might call poetry.
that some might call Benjamin.

care to comment and Ben shall be grateful for it.
if you should rather sit and appreciate
that too is fine and dandy.

thanks for coming.

    that some might call poetry.
    that some might call Benjamin?

    Where does poetry end and Benjamin begin.
    When you find that place call me and I will map it for free!

    peace

    I certainly will opoetoo.
    But it’s a very fine line indeed.

    Recently answered questions on ‘Rhapsody’ which was featured before as an unseen poem on the leaving cert, absolutely loved it. Studying a combination of Boland, Yeats, Kavanagh, Longley and Rich yet ‘Rhapsody’ is very much the most simply beautiful poem I have ever read. Came here to search for more of Ben Zinman-Bright, really hope I find some.

    Lovely poems. Do you mind it if I use them in my blog (epicbloggingnow.wordpress.com) on my Monday weekly series called ‘Powerful Poetry’…with citations, of course?
