Spirit Beside Me

My work involves communication of spirit beyond this realm.I believe this work to be influenced by that of automatic writing.The poems will excite, embrace and intrigue you encouraging you to read the poems over and over again. Some of my work involves the acrostic method of poetry, this was used by the ancient Sumerians who used this method to reveal a message by reading each first letter of each line of the poem down the page to relay the message to far away lands.By capturing the story or ’rather’ the essential information within the poem itself, made the ordeal of relaying the message far more easier for those in ancient times.I did not know I was actually writing in the acrostic way until someone prompted and told me of the Sumerians.I can tell you this, when I researched acrostic methods and the history of acrostic poetry... and then realised my work was indeed very similar, the goose flesh almost confirmed the origin and the era of my spiritual guides.Author, Colin Bird. Enjoy.
