Nigel Smith - Hidden Self Poetry

Hidden Self Poetry - "the poet reveals what is hidden, and what is often hidden is his self"

Poetry - Poetry comes from the Bardic tradition, the storytellers, it is meant to be heard more than read.
It comes alive when read, has greater impact on both intellect and emotion. Sadly, it is still to some extent thought of as elitist, the province of academia. However, it is irrelevant whether you can understand the poet's words, get his drift, or know a Sonnet from a Villanelle. You just need to get your 'own' something from verse, that it provokes thought/emotion or simply that you find beauty in the words.

This is a non-monetised channel, featuring the poetic art of Nigel Smith.
It also features the art of many distinguished poets, whose work is greatly admired by Smith, and is included here for no other reason than to hopefully bring pleasure and awareness to others.
