A Child of Nature

A Child of Nature presents a collection of poems that are reflective not only of poet Ilda Poshi's personal experiences, but also of the troubled experiences of her social environment. A journey into longing and love, warmth and loneliness, sincerity and sarcasm, and profound contemplation, her poetry offers a shared world of spiritual depths and simple joys. The emotions cover the spectrum from the love expressed in "Retrospection" to the loss and abandonment of "In Absentia."

Poshi's images are elegantly crafted, highlighting even the smallest of details. The description and imagery illuminate the theme of each poem. Something is always leaving or departing-unfinished, much like life.

Pretty

may this child be good and right
may this southern wind blow and veer
may this mother watch the light
may this flowerbed stridently cheer

may this poetry never writhe or end
may this peaceful romance increase its flows
may your beauty life befriend
may these bells stop their heart-rending echoes

may this cuddle gently sway
may this love affair be gritty
may the people refrain from fray
may your image remain pretty

may this love affair be gritty
may your image remain pretty
