Untitled -- Michael Leunig

Guest poem sent in by Prachi Gupta
(Poem #1936) Untitled
 When the heart
 Is cut or cracked or broken
 Do not clutch it
 Let the wound lie open
 Let the wind
 From the good old sea blow in
 To bathe the wound with salt

 Let a stray dog lick it
 Let a bird lean in the hole and sing
 A simple song like a tiny bell
 And let it ring
 Let it go.  Let it out.
 Let it all unravel.
 Let it free and it can be
 A path on which to travel.
-- Michael Leunig
This is a poem without a title, by the Australian writer, poet, cartoonist,
philosopher, Michael Leunig. I first discovered Leunig about 10 years ago
when a cousin gifted me one of his books, I have followed his work ever
since and have always found it endearing and enchanting. Like this poem
here, he talks of simple things around us, within us and talks of them in an
amazingly simple and human way; and reading his work mostly opens a tiny
window somewhere in the heart.

I hope everyone enjoys this!

Hi,

I actually wrote my Honours thesis on the Poetics of Micheal Leunig. I used
the last four lines of of this poem (which appear in most books as a poem by
itself) as the starting point for my essay. If you are interested, you can
find my discussion of his poetry, and some more of his poems here:

Hope this is helpful :)

In 2008, Leunig wrote that "Artists must never shrink from a confrontation with society or the state." Leunig's cartoons have occasionally been a source of controversy. Between 1995 and 2000 Leunig drew the ire of "working mothers" by satirising the heavy reliance upon childcare services in Australian culture in several of his works.

Hello,

I rarely see the look of a blog that contains the lyrics of the song, but use a very minimalist template like this. But I really liked the template that you use this, because I also really liked the minimalist template. kamar mandi mungil | gambar taman rumah | contoh gambar pemandangan | cara cepat hamil

Great post! I?m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us.

Penyakit ini umumnya muncul karena penderita mengejan terlalu keras pada saat buang air besar. Dengan mengejan terlalu keras, maka pembuluh darah di sekitar anus dapat melebar dan pecah menimbulkan infeksi dan pembengkakan yang berakhir pada masalah wasir atau ambeien tersebut.

Kutil pada alat kelamin luar bisa diangkat melalui laser, krioterapi (pembekuan) atau pembedahan dengan bius lokal. Pengobatan kimiawi, seperti podofilum resin atau racun yang dimurnikan atau asam trikloroasetat, bisa dioleskan langsung pada kutil. Tetapi pengobatan ini memerlukan waktu beberapa minggu sampai beberapa bulan, bisa melukai kulit di sekelilingnya dan sering gatal.

sejenis tumor jinak pada kulit, berasal dari penebalan lapisan luar
kulit yang berlebihan. Bentuk kutil ini bisa bermacam-macam.
