Blog Break

Filed under: General — Vasilios Theodorakis @ 6:00 pm

I’ll be taking a break from blog postings for a period of two weeks – I’ve decided to take some time off for holidays.

The next scheduled posting will be a poem that should appear here on Friday 10th July 2009.

Over the years, I’ve met lots of different personality types – some good and some not so good. :) Both have inspired various poems and short pieces which are slowly appearing on this blog.

In July 1988 I was working with a wonderful young woman at David Jones (Queen Street Store – Brisbane) who epitomized spunk and whom everyone liked. This poem was written for her during the month of July but was meant as a 1988 Christmas present. What I can’t remember, is whether I was daft/courageous enough to give it to her, or whether I just filed it away amongst the rest of my material. The poem was called – Someone Special

My highlighted author for the week is great novelist: Earnest Hemmingway

This week’s poem is from the Growing Up anthology, written in July 1988. Its called – A Princess Today

It touches on the idea that modern western women can be feminine and take advantage of all life’s options.

The highlighted author for this week is the gothic writer: Mary Shelley

Staying Invisible and Wisdom Gained, Wisdom Lost… are my last two commentaries for the time being – or so I hope. ;)

Staying Invisible describes a particular lifestyle and how its informed by an Orthodox Christian world view. Wisdom Gained, Wisdom Lost… is a social commentary in regards to how current Western cultures over emphasise the importance of youth at the expense of the elderly.

The author of the week is: Edgar Allen Poe whose life was unfortunately cut short by tuberculosis.
