The Native-Born is Rudyard Kipling in full, booming voice—an ode to homeland, heritage, and the fierce pride of those raised under blazing southern skies. Through vivid imagery and pulsing rhythm, Kipling toasts the people of the far-flung British colonies: the “Sons of the Golden South,” the settlers and workers who carved their lives into vast prairies, tin-roofed towns, and coastlines battered by sun and sea.

Story0
Max Ehrmann’s Desiderata is a gentle manifesto for the human spirit, written with the clarity of wisdom that comes not from abstraction but from lived experience. First published in 1927, the poem speaks in a calm, almost parental voice, guiding the listener toward a life of quiet dignity amid the disorder of the modern world. Its opening injunction—“Go placidly amid the noise and haste”—establishes both its tone and its philosophy: serenity is not the absence of chaos, but a way of moving through it.

Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born on the 16th October 1854 in Dublin Ireland. His only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray was published in 1890 and he then moved on to writing for the stage with Salome in 1891. His society comedies produced enormous hits and turned him into one of the most successful writers of late Victorian London. He died destitute in Paris at the age of forty-six sipping champagne a friend had brought with the line ‘Alas I am dying beyond my means’.

At the end of my Ink came a great many Poems. 68 to be exact. These have culminated in my fourth poetry book titled On the Cusp. The title is a clue to what awaits. These poems will have you on the verge of tears, followed by joy, to pain to laughter, to romancing, to dancing and back again. There are Daily Quotes too. In all honesty, this one is on the cusp of being my favourite collection to date. So, if you are looking to buy a Poetry Book, look no further. You will not be disappointed!

Lo Propio. Difficile est proprie comunia dicereHoracioPodría decirse que el poeta tiene únicamente dos temas: el amor y la muerte. Pues nacer es anticipar el morir, la traición no es otra cosa que el asesinato de la amistad, la vida no es sino el espacio donde acontecen la muerte y el amor. Al menos en Occidente, son los poetas quienes han dialogado con la muerte: la propia y la de todos; la individual, la colectiva y la cósmica.
