Poetry
In Saoró we believe that reading and writing poetry supports a spiritual and creative life because they foster deep processing, emotional expression, and a heightened awareness of the human experience. Poetry beautifully distills complex feelings and universal truths into evocative language, allowing us to connect more deeply with our inner selves and the world around us. Engaging with poetry cultivates mindfulness, inspires our imagination, and encourages a sense of wonder and awe, all of which nurture our spiritual growth. Poetry also stimulates our creativity by challenging the mind to find new ways of seeing and expressing reality, supporting deep exploration and self-discovery essential to a vibrant, full and authentic life. It is both food and medicine for the soul.
In Ireland we have a strong lineage of poetry going back to the ancient times of the revered traveling Bard. Every year we host a poetry month on Saoró and we get to witness the incredible depth and beauty of this sacred form of creative wor ship that still holds a place in Irish hearts.
Got poetry you would love to share? We warmly invite you to send in your work and we can showcase it on Saoró. This space is free, heart-led, and open to all who create with purpose, play, and soul. Just send your details & work to us and we will get in touch!

Nothing to live on but the view
A bleak crumbling cabin, clinging to slopes of the deep western fjord

A Journey with Meadow: An Exploration of Manifestation through Creative Writing
In the stillness of the morning, before the sun has fully risen, I stand barefoot on the dew-covered grass and breathe in the sweet, earthy scent of the moist grass below my feet.

It’s a question of Imagination (Part 1)
I had a particular crisis. It was around the tail end of my Saturn return and I thought I was going to die.

A Poem of Wishes
When I die This is what I wish Please sing to me Until your voices join

In the Ocean of Becoming
In the ocean of becoming. All life rises together. Falls together. Not one without the other. Not other without the one.

Think Like a Spider
What stories are inside you mama? What stories are you pregnant with? What stories live and breathe inside of you? What stories are you caught inside of? What stories are you navigating?

Gatherings
Do not fight life Fight with all that is within you, that is against Life. Abuse, cruelty, injustices, homelessness, war, ignorance.

Smorgasbord of Life
Sitting here among my blooms, knowing Autumn will come too soon. Overworked bees diligently strive to carry nectar to the hive.

Story as Healer
It began with a story. It always does, doesn’t it? Sometimes a Story walks into a Room. Sometimes you have to hunt for the Wolf with a bloated belly full of stories and cut open to get to the marrow of Story.

Meeting Huachuma
How to write about such a thing as a master plant intelligence, consciousness.

Rewilding Persephone (Part 1)
You know the story. The foundation cracks open. The first time was sudden. Shocking perhaps. A maiden, daughter of a goddess, descends to the underworld. To the land of the shades.
