Adryan Barnathan Poems
The power of the world
always works in circles.
The sky is round,
and I have heard
...
Do not believe
because you read it in a book
Do not believe
because you saw it on television
...
seemingly dancing
on blank snow,
flecks illuminate light
generating warmth
...
Man with a crab claw
baby with a snout
no more butterflies
G.M.engineered them out
...
We are a circle
where we roam
near or far
it is our home
...
All wise men, within this world
need not say, a single word
because they, are like you and me
...
I never imagined
what a strong
influence you could have
over my entire life,
...
that magic smell of
burnt wood
hangs over the antiseptic snow
as we walk and pull our sleds
...
I've had enough
I've come undone
now every little thing's become
a trouble to attend to
...
She breaks with tradition
empowered,
with a heart at ease,
one with herself.
...
Where did all the hippies go
to a Bohemian retirement home
where they play the
''Grateful Dead''
...
Our hearts are in the kitchen
we talk with our hands
we yell down from our windows
we laugh even louder
...
To draw a line
divide
contain
compartmentalise
...

I heard myself asking you, ''What is this special magic you weave Adrienne''? And you replied ''It is US, that's the magic'')
The Best Poem Of Adryan Barnathan
- Black Elk Speaks
The power of the world
always works in circles.
The sky is round,
and I have heard
the earth is round
like a ball,
and so are all the stars.
The wind,
in its greatest power, whirls.
Birds make their nests
in circles,
for theirs is the same religion as ours.
The sun
comes forth and goes down
in a circle
The moon does the same.
And both always come back
to where they were.
The life of man is a circle
from childhood to childhood.
And so it is in everything
where power moves.'

Great stuff as usuaual! You don't seem to be writing as much as you once did. Hope that it is not the dreaded writer block...I love your work! Theodora Onken
I would like to thank you, Addrienne, for writing here. I have learned new things from your poetry. I am deeply amazed at the depth of your poetry, and even now am striving to acheive it with my own poetry. I have but one question, at least one answerable one, anyway. How do you get the Copyright on your poems? I would like to know, if you will please message me. Thank you! !
Adrienne Barnathan writes poetry as it should be, raw, charged and packed with imagery to move the human heart. By far one of the best poets on Poem Hunter.
Adrienne, I just read three of your poems for the first time. Very cool! I felt nostalgia rise in me as I did, in the simple sublimity of the images you create. I look forward to reading more...thanks. Darrell
Hello Adrienne I've just come to explore your work, I love the diversity and expressiveness, very enjoyable indeed. all the best L
