Doug Blair Corregidor Often I hear from the poetry blog “John Coyote”. A recent entry addresses many of the redeeming possibilities of poetry. I agree with the writer and share his hope that many new poets will step forward and issue from their hearts for the betterment of the reading public. It got me thinking about a rather strange poem by Robert Browning. It takes us to what appears to be a Spanish community at the time of the death of the town’s most notable poet. It traces his eccentricities, his travels and observations, his lonely accommodations and his impact upon the high and low. Apparently as he wandered the streets and shops of the community with his observant eye, he took on somewhat of the role of Father Confessor. People were aware of his presence and assessment and influence. It reminds me of the role of poet as philosopher, chronicler and social commentator in many societies of the past (Ireland, Ukraine, France, Russia come to mind) . At one point in Browning’s poem he refers to the Corregidor, a Spanish word translating high magistrate or official. Funny that a man strangely dressed and housed, and given to odd imagery and idealism, would warrant such a title. And Elizabeth B. Browning his wife also distinctly heard the call of Corregidor.

Brandy Avery ~ An Cotten Sa Spéir ~ Cad a fheiceann tú nuair a fhéachann tú ar an cadás sa spéir. Nuair a stare mé ag an scamaill ní bheidh mé a fheiceáil bréag. Feicim go bhfuil áilleacht i do chuid súl. Cad a fheiceann tú nuair a fhéachann tú ar an ghrian. An bhfuil tú aisling de spraoi teaghlaigh sa todhchaí? Nuair a cheapann tú ar an oíche, a dhéanann tú envision an twinkle na soilse beag? Nuair a fhéachann tú ar ghrá, a fheiceann tú ar an doves turtle? An é sin an comhartha ó na déithe thuas. Nuair a chuimhním anois ort beats, mo chroí níos tapúla agus níos moille ag an am céanna. Ó, mar sin sásta go bhfuil tú mianach. Tá duine éigin cosúil leat deacair a fháil. Do gcónaí ar m'intinn. Go dtí go bhfuil muid liath agus aois, nach bhfuil an cluiche a théann tú agus a fhilleadh. Ansin, muid le chéile arís ag na geataí déanta d'ór.
