Let's try something different

Ollie Lind posted an article on Ollie Lind | Life Poetry | Poems About Life Love Friendship - Feb 10, 2011, 4:03 am
Hello everyone, I write the poetry I do to reflect my life experiencies, hopes, dreams and expectations. Sometimes it’s to comment on some aspect of life that catches my attention. Other times I write simply to experience the joy of creating something that has never been before. I was having a c...

The Mask

Recently I attended a dinner in Sydney. It was a sports awards dinner and I am President of NSW Squash. The board had as their guest the CEO of Lifeline, a well known charity that provides support and counselling for people struggling with life. For some reason the conversation turned to the arts an...

Look Foward

Ollie Lind posted an article on Ollie Lind | Life Poetry | Poems About Life Love Friendship - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
As those of you who have followed my poems know, I often write because of something in my life stirring me to comment. Quite a number of years ago my life long friend married for a second time. Both he and his lady had grown children and I chided him how someone as plain as he could attract such a ...

Boundaries

Ollie Lind posted an article on Ollie Lind | Life Poetry | Poems About Life Love Friendship - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
I am sometimes disappointed at the way we set up barriers to prevent us reaching our true potential. We lose courage and daring as life buffets us about, never realizing that it’s the struggle that is the essence of life. We should celebrate our triumphs and learn from our tragedies. Yet so many ...

A Play

Ollie Lind posted an article on Ollie Lind | Life Poetry | Poems About Life Love Friendship - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
One time in my life some people took me for gay. I was divorced, had no lady in my life, yet seemed happy and sociable. In fact it was a period where I had resigned myself to being alone. I try to help people anywhere I go and sometimes this has been misconstrued. When I have a realization in my l...

If Only

Ollie Lind posted an article on Ollie Lind | Life Poetry | Poems About Life Love Friendship - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
This poem was written as a wish for how life could, or should be. I am happy with many aspects of my life, but it still rankles at the waste of life I see all around me. The loss of love, the spirit of co-operation and charity that should abound, rather than be the exception. There are many examples...

Its a Girl! I have some news of a personal nature. Most times I write poetry when something occurs in my life which has a profound effect on me. Last week, on the first day of spring, my daughter had a baby girl, her first child. Spring signifies a new beginning for life and what time could be mor...

Away

We all have demons from our past who revisit from time to time. During a particularly difficult time in my life I wrote this poem to simply recognize how we all try to get away from time to time. Away Sometimes I try to get away to live again another day. To start my life again brand new, see i...

One day I was thinking about my failed marriage and came to the realization that it was my lack of honesty with myself mainly that caused the failure. The lady had the misfortune to enter into a relationship that was doomed from the start. Ah, how we play vicious games in the name of honesty. Life ...

The Storyteller

Ollie Lind posted an article on Ollie Lind | Life Poetry | Poems About Life Love Friendship - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Many years ago I used to attend meetings of poets. At one such meeting I heard a Russian called Yuri tell a story. He insisted the lights be turned out and he then lit a candle. He really created a mood and then told his tale. It struck me that so much of our history and culture came from stories a...

About Me

One of the greatest sources of joy for me is writing poetry. It releases my soul and allows me to express beauty, sadness and what to me is the essence of living; being connected to others. I have seen many things in my life that have had an effect on me, both profound and minor. I want to share some of these experiences with you. I will be posting poems and stories of what inspired them.
