Original Spoken Word Poetry
Name: Mark Shepherd

Welcome to the poetry of 'dashpoet' on YouTube.

Please also follow introductions to people featured in 'Favourites' and 'Subscriptions' for a growing selection of poetry and other inspired creativity.

I hope you find something here to brighten your day, heighten your awareness, perhaps even to enlighten.

The more you look, the more you learn.
The more you learn, the more you see.

The online gallery at www.jackiea.co.uk offers a view of a further range of artwork, including the background painting in most of the 'dashpoet' YouTube videos.

My website www.dashpoet.com is an attempt to bring art to the internet experience. Colours are linked to collections of hundreds of the best websites and search engines, to create an original map of the internet. Widely recommended and personal favourite web destinations are featured in twelve images, each representing a region of the internet. A choice of map sizes and background colours is available.

With its origins in 1999, www.dashpoetry.com is a further collaboration, featuring poetry collections linked by the art of unique image map designs. The original www.poetry-planet.co.uk can still be viewed, through the link on www.dashpoetry.com home page.

'Be Surprised At What You Find', in the 1997 book 'Rivers and Bridges', was my first published poem.

Click links in video descriptions to discover more.
I'm still tickled to have added a translator to my dashpoetry website: even bad poems look good now set out beautifully in Chinese characters.

You are incredibly affirming and encouraging. The integrity and beauty of your work, my friend... Again, my thanks to you!
I am going through things and found these words from my daughter that I jotted down on a scrap piece of junk mail, in green marker, when she was almost two; and thought you might like them...

Zoë's words, April 2005:
"grasshoppers on feet
butterflies in mouth
necklace with animals on it.
blue bunnies, green bunnies"

haha! She has always been quite a talker... She was telling me how she wanted me to paint her... The time really does? " fly" ~

Thanks for your top rate quality talent, the clean and smooth, arrays, imagery, mouthfuls of lines, voice, thought. The many gifts you sprinkle, with care. Your time, your patience, the presence of your words and how uplifting, calm, sunny profound energy, and so kind, giving; thanks thanks thanks. Amazing what you do, in your poems, all. Your perfect inventions and gracious soul, conversation, and sharing, evokes more than anyone could ever say. Thank you for your serene delightful, relaxing, inspiring, imaginative, intriguing, fun, wistful, strength, humor, play, rhythm... There is so much to enjoy see and learn here! So many of the greatest places of all, is in your poetry. And there are still so many unseen, sort of layers and layers of waiting hidden treasures for me to explore in this superb collection of boxes ------> (like a marvelous dish of candy!) Thank you so much, my friend.
