Sole Departed!
written by: Ger White
Their marriage was truly meant to last
To walk together through any storm
To move as one in rhythms undone
Where did it all go wrong?
Rain fell down in torrents that year
“Sole” started to move away
With every pace in that daily rain
Relationships started to fray
“My sole was never meant for this”
Mrs Right started to hiss
“Well, I was never born for cold”
Mr Left joined in the scold
And so they parted – it could not be
Sole from leather had to flee
Another pair of shoes in the bin
Never to share a foot again

Gerardine White - (also called Ger) grew up in wild open country of West Limerick, Ireland. Her country life is represented in her poems and has a strong bearing on her core values and education. She inherited the skill of poetic rhyme from both of her parents and her Grandad. This past year she was published in four Anthologies from Clarendon House Publications. Some of her poems will already have appeared in Ballyguiltenane Rural Journal over time. She had the pleasure of spending an evening with Seamus Heaney in Dublin in 2011. It was later very humbling to read a testimonial of her work:
“Your poetry reminds me of Seamus Heaney” (Grant Hudson - Clarendon House Publications)
"Poems by Ger have the ability to lift the soul and bring it to a place of peace and calm"
(Peg Prendeville, Poet. - The Purple Pencil)
