Poetic Intricacies: Recent Episodes
Leona Gilligan
A podcast dedicated to poetry that I write and also introducing you to poems you may not have read by some wonderful poets who have influenced and touched me.
In this episode of poetry. I take you through a poem about manifestation and love. You put things out to the universe and then they don’t work out the way they’re supposed to. Or do they? ~ You decide ~
This poem is about my uncle Frankie who we sadly lost to cancer this day two years ago. I haven’t been able to capture him in a poem until now. I hope you enjoy.
I wrote this poem after a late night drive home. Every night there is a certain neighborhood cat who sits on the bridge over the river keeping watch over the crossing or looking for mice. This particular night there was a full moon and I was tortured with bad thoughts and depression. I wrote this and it helped.
