ERIN ERIN MCNEILL MCNEIL •• POET POET •• CANADA CANADA
Erin McNeill wrote binders full of poetry as a teenager and then didn’t write another poem for the next two decades. But when Erin put pen to paper again, the result is a series of poems that she bravely started to post one by one on Instagram @poesyvisualpoeticworks. Instagram: @poesyvisualpoeticworks
‘Heart’ Three red hearts represent a misalignment. This poem is a gentle call to action to realign with one’s centre.
Is your heart racing? Catch up to it. Cease the panic. Realign.
‘Meet Me By the Cherry Tree’ The cherry tree is a meeting place for love to be expressed. The trunk is the rooting; the fruit as red as hearts. The innocence of young love; the excitement of new love or the contentment of an older love.
