Terence George Craddock Biography

Terence George Craddock, born in Westport New Zealand, is a poet known for his contemplative and diverse nature poetry. He has penned unique verses with a painter's eye for symmetry, light, and shade, celebrating the beauty of inspiring nature. His work reflects a deep appreciation for the natural world, and his poems often evoke vivid imagery and emotions.

One of his poems, 'Clay Upon The Wheel', draws a parallel between the poet and a potter. Just as a potter shapes raw clay into beautiful forms, the poet molds thoughts and emotions through the mind of love. The fragments of beauty in his verses resonate with readers, much like a potter's creation on the wheel.

It is 2024, this year I hope to get more serious writing done and to finish a few incomplete poetry files from years past. The good news for anyone who loves poetry, who loves adventure, gold panning for gold flakes, perhaps a gold nugget is; there are a few gold nugget poems among the gold flakes.

Topics of nature love etc can often be guessed from the title if a reader wants to guess a poems theme.

Time Passes. It is September 2024. Time to dust off this biography and attempt to get a few past unfinished files completed, a few forgotten poems posted. This will be a time tunnel for those who like shifting back and forth in time adventures, shifting from past to present in time as past and present poems will be posted.

This year the completed files are April 2024, January, April, July & November 2023, December 2021, September 2019, February 2016, September 2015, January 2014, March 2012 and May 2010.

The next file I will attempt to complete will be? ? ?

For readers of nature, these are my most read poems. Poem titles will hint at themes. Hopefully 2024 will be a good year for all fellow poets. Power to your pens.
