I regret not making the most of school opportunities to learn languages

Later I went to Spanish night classes (I had fallen for a Colombian girl), with little success

This is about the courage to carelessly try new things, if we want to learn, love, or connect with others

Today is All Souls’ Day – the day we remember the dead

Here we have the words of someone speaking from beyond the grave guiding the reader through the stages of grief

The idea that grief and memory are intertwined.

Finally, the greatest act of love – permission to forget

Today was the kind of day we call ‘a good day for the drying’

In this tender love poem Heaney shows how love works - through attention and appreciation. Daily labour is transformed into something sacred.

The St Brigid comparison is genius

Before Halloween became the commercial festival that it is we put coins in apple tarts, bobbed for apples & lit bonfires

We bent spoons & blistered hands carving lanterns from turnips, not pumpkins

Here Heaney catches the Halloween of my childhood

Even in our absence we leave an impression on those we love. We exist in each others hearts as memories, as shadows

Here the speaker does not demand remembrance but knows it will come as sure as thunder storms come in summer

This must have been quite a relationship!

This deceptively simple poem explores race, class, art, & assumptions we bring to cultural performance

It challenges us to examine our prejudices & stereotypes

The real power though lies in the tension between the 2 answers

PS I love the 3 year old kid

This is by Hannah Lowe from 'The Kids', a series of sonnets exploring her experiences teaching in a multicultural London school

It exposes the complexities of Englishness & challenges simplistic ideas about national identity, race, prejudice, & belonging.

a poem from a perspective not my own, sultry in nature - modernity in essence, with a reference to 'The Office', but structurally again, rigid and thought out.

Day - 9.

​Antim kriya jab meri hogi,
Teri yaad bhi sang jal jayegi...!
Main aaj chala to jaunga,
Mere piche tu kal aayegi..!!

Gone today, but leaving memories that echo tomorrow.
