A Video-poem that is part of a quartet I wrote based on a poem by Yeats.

I have been holding back on posts here as I feel that I don't want to post any more of the Novel before I finish it and send it off for publication; when ever that time comes. This is what I did this past week when I was actually home for a change and feeling creative:

The last line was the first line of the WB Yeats poem "There." It is my intention to write 3 more poems that end in the next 3 lines of the same poem. The object being to write towards a predetermined conclusion rather that from a starting point. An exercise to test myself if you will. :`)

Welcome Homie!

Glebie-Glue!

Glebe Ho. stands for "Glebe House".

A Glebe or Glebe House was in the Roman Catholic and Anglican church traditions. The glebe was an area of land belonging to a parish, the revenues from which were intended to help support the parish.

A Glebe-house is a rectory built for the parish priest, vicar, pastor, or rector, usually at church expense.

Also : archaic : Land specif : a plot of land. Also : land belonging or yielding revenue to a parish church or ecclesiastical benefice.

My guess is that "yielding revenue to" is what my ancestors were up to. They were Coopers by Trade and more than likely would have been employed in the making of barrels, to store or ship the "yielded" product of Flax or Grain.
