Poems about our city! “I love the Irtysh in the evening hours, a primary school teacher.
Belozerov Timofey Maksimovich (1929-1986), poet, member of the Writers' Union of Russia. He wrote many poems about nature and his native land. One of my favorites is "City on the Irtysh". It was created in 1962. It is wonderful, one of the best poems by Timofey Belozerov. "City on the Irtysh" is a magnificent poem, which was written in honor of the creation of the beautiful city of Omsk. Timofey Belozerov put his love for his homeland into it. The poet describes the spaciousness and grace that the people who came to the territory of the future Omsk were the first to see. He uses epithets: big-headed ax, blue smoke, stubborn message, measured eyelid, etc. Timofey Belozerov tells the reader about a deserted place that later became our homeland, that people quickly gathered and formed various new traditions and beliefs. The poet uses an exact comparison in his work: as if the people were gathering their fingers into a fist. I like the last five lines the most:
Measured eyelid
On the steps of the porch
People in the junction of two rivers
Tied up
These lines are imbued with deep meaning. The writer wanted to convey to us that the city of Omsk was created with love, so that we cherish and cherish it.
CITY ON IRTYSH
Hunting
By the craft of the century,
To a desolate place
A man came.
I wiped my forehead with my sleeve
I dropped my light luggage
Under the hands of two rivers,
Plenty, grace!
Pounded in the pine forest
Big-headed ax,
Girdled the hut
Peaked fence.
Pulled over birches
Blue smoke ...
Man stay
And she went on the serifs
Stubborn message:
There is a place for a fortress!
There is a place for the city!
Like fingers in a fist
The people were gathering -
Balalaikas, nuts
At the new gate.
In the bazaar - carts,
Brocade cuts.
Over the fire barn
Versta tower.
Swayed over the river
Lantern lights
Plahi is similar, ropes,
Cast iron anchors ...
Measured eyelid
On the steps of the porch
People in the junction of two rivers

Irtysh embankment - a favorite place for walking Timofey Belozerov
The Irtysh embankment was a favorite place for Timofey Maksimovich's walks. From the river station to
and evening hours. The embankment was not only a place to relax or admire the river - it was
road of thought, creative work.
There was a case: I saw him on the embankment in the area of the "Ocean" store by accident, concentrated,
staring into the river distance. Having passed, he did not notice me, or, perhaps, pretended not to
noticed, and did the right thing - after all, it was clear to me that he was working, thinking about something and interrupting
does not want to, especially since on this path he meets many familiar people, and you will not bow to everyone,
do not give a minute of attention when you are all in your thoughts.
I don’t know what lines he wrote along the way. He confessed to me with a smile that on the embankment
Irtysh himself helps him to compose. And how not to believe this, if the whole life of Timofey Maksimovich
from her youth she was associated with the river: a river school, sailing on a ship along the Irtysh and, finally,
after many ordeals and disorder with housing, he received an apartment on Leningradskaya Square overlooking
to the bridge and the river. Therefore, in the work of Timofey Belozerov there are many poems about the river. The river theme passes
throughout the poet's work from the first book to the last poems. Where were they conceived, where are they
were born: at your desk or while walking? There are many questions to which there is no answer.

Timofey Belozerov. A true Siberian. Jack of all trades (so called T.M. Belozerov S. Baruzdin). Omsk poet who loves the nature of his native land. But he especially loved to be on the Irtysh embankment. How many wonderful poems are dedicated to the river. Now the Lenaneft-2018 tanker, which now bears the name of Timofey Belozerov, is sailing across the expanses of the Irtysh. And this is no coincidence: in the Irtysh shipping company it is considered their own, the naval one. After all, he graduated from the Omsk River School.
Not only children are in love with the magical world of Timofey Belozerov, who has the happy gift of finding poetry everywhere. More than one young generation has grown up on his poems and fairy tales. He does not have a sharp line between poems for children and for adults. The poet is in love with his land, with his native nature. This is even indicated by the names of poems, by which any Omsk can guess where the events are taking place: “Why did I fly to Bolshiye Uki to the children”, “I love the Irtysh in the evening”, “Osh River”, etc.
It is no coincidence that the poet wrote so much about Siberian nature, and one of the critics called Siberia T.Belozerov “melodious and tender”. It is said very accurately and there are plenty of confirmations in the poet's verses: How much sun and space are in the mountains! I just want to take off the mittens And to the warmth. On the shoulder of the hillside Raise your native village ...
And the first book was illustrated by the Omsk artist Kondraty Belov. Timofey Maksimovich respected and appreciated this man. 
Omsk hosted the second Belozerov festival dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the birth of the remarkable Omsk poet Timofey Belozerov. The real poet was loved by many. He has many wonderful students. But many admired it too. No wonder V. Poltorakin in 1970 portrayed T. Belozerov as follows:

A memorial plaque with its high relief by the sculptor Fyodor Bugaenko is installed on the house number 2 on Ch. Valikhanov Street. One of the streets of Omsk, in the town of oil workers, a children's library on the Left Bank, a tanker of the Irtysh River Shipping Company are named after Belozerov. His name is reflected in the river, gliding along the waves on board the ship. A memorial stone was erected for him on the Alley of Writers of the XX century.
In the library named after T.M. Belozerov, his books and his heroes live: characters brought to life and drawn, sewn, fashioned by young readers. The force of attraction of his personality turned out to be so great that gradually a small museum arose here, exhibiting photographs, letters, books, personal belongings and favorite records of the poet. The years of study of T. Belozerov at the Omsk River School and his "adventures" along the Siberian rivers are reminiscent of ship instruments and the modern uniform of a school cadet. And it seems that the Irtysh himself entered the walls of the library with his splash, river smell, rustle of coastal grass. The diorama, recreating a corner of the Omsk Irtysh region, seems to have removed one wall and expanded the space.
A wonderful book of memoirs about the poet "He walked on the sunny mane" (compiled by V. Novikov) has been published. The stories included in the book are written warmly, with gentle humor and great respect for the great talent of our fellow countryman. Reading and rereading T.Belozerov's poems, you understand that not a single generation will grow up on his wonderful works.

There are different ways to keep the elusive past: to mark the old house with a new sign with the inscription: "Lived here ...", to assign the name of an outstanding personality to a street, park or other city object, to collect and publish everything related to life and work. You can also arrange readings, cast monuments, make exhibitions ... His poetry is called kind, light, joyful, melodious and wise, and after years it is still fresh, fragrant and attractive for children and adults. Each of us has read or heard the poems of Timofey Belozerov at least once - a generous inheritance from many generations at once. Were we grateful heirs? Our team made excursions to the places associated with the name of T. Belozerov. We present our photo report.
The poet's bright name became familiar to the children's library on the left bank of the Irtysh. In the library named after Timofei Belozerov, his books and his heroes live.
In August 2005, a grand opening of a memorial stone with the name of a children's poet took place on the alley of writers.
From 1948 to 1952, T. Belozerov studied at the Omsk River School. About the years of study of Timofey Belozerov at the school and his "walks" along the Siberian rivers resemble ship instruments and the modern form of a school cadet. And it seems that the Irtysh himself entered the walls of the library with his splash, river smell, rustle of coastal grass. The diorama, recreating a corner of the Omsk Irtysh region, seems to have removed one wall and expanded the space.
In dozens of ways, we hold back what is leaving. Paper, film, metal, stone. But the main house of memory is the soul. It is here that she is alive and mobile. The best memory of a poet is the life of his poems. To be read, taught, remembered, loved. The work of Timofey Belozerov is a happy legacy that does not diminish, does not cause contention, is passed with love to everyone who responds to love and beauty, and who makes everyone richer. And we must preserve it, so as not to deprive those who come after us.

1st child: Father did not answer. And then the Irtysh decided to flee from the mountains. On a dark night, when the moon closed in a cloud, the Irtysh scattered, jumped
and burst out of the hollow into the gorge. The Irtysh escaped from the mountains and wondered which way to take the path, where to look for the beautiful Ob.
2-child: Birds flew over the steppe at that time, they told the Irtysh that the beautiful Ob was on her way to the Arctic Sea - the ocean. It's hot in the steppe, the sun burnt out its herbs. “Well, drink my water,” said the Irtysh and spilled widely, freely. The steppe was delighted and clung to the Irtysh water with a dry, hot body.
1st child: And the Irtysh goes further and further to the north. And then the day came when the Irtysh met the beautiful Ob. From afar he saw how she bent in an arc in his direction. "Just for me a beautiful hero!" - said the Irtysh, and two rivers merged in one channel, and flowed to the Arctic Sea - the ocean.

Belozerov Timofey Maksimovich (1929-1986), poet, member of the Writers' Union of Russia. He wrote many poems about nature and his native land. One of my favorites is "City on the Irtysh". It was created in 1962. It is wonderful, one of the best poems by Timofey Belozerov. "City on the Irtysh" is a magnificent poem, which was written in honor of the creation of the beautiful city of Omsk. Timofey Belozerov put his love for his homeland into it. The poet describes the spaciousness and grace that the people who came to the territory of the future Omsk were the first to see. He uses epithets: big-headed ax, blue smoke, stubborn message, measured eyelid ... Timofey Belozerov tells the reader about a deserted place, which later became our homeland, about how the people quickly gathered and formed various new traditions and beliefs. The poet uses an exact comparison in his work: people were gathering like fingers in a fist ... I like the last five lines the most:
Swam
Measured eyelid
On the steps of the porch
People in a knot of two rivers
Hearts!
These lines are imbued with deep meaning. The writer wanted to convey to us that the city of Omsk was created with love, so that we cherish and cherish it.
Irtysh helps to compose
... Timofey Belozerov he loved to walk along the Irtysh embankment from the river station to the Leningradsky bridge and further to the cargo port. Here he not only admired the local beauty and relaxation, but also composed poetry. He often confessed to his family that it was there that lines were born to him, the Irtysh helped him to compose. Still, after all, Belozerov's whole life was connected with the river: he graduated from the Omsk River School, which today bears the name of Captain Evdokimov, sailed on a ship on the Irtysh and received an apartment in the city on Leningradskaya Square, with a view of the bridge and the river.
Once, having met Vladimir Novikov, an Omsk writer, at the embankment, Timofey Belozerov invited him to go down to the river. Here, as the young publicist recalled, he witnessed the birth of one line.
“- Let's sit down! - suggested the poet, pointing to the log lying on the way. Have a seat. And at that moment on the river, one after another, the lights of the buoys began to flash.
Electronics! .. - said Timofey Maksimovich. - Themselves light up with the onset of twilight. And before that it was: grandfather the buoy-keeper at the oars, granddaughters at the stern - they float to light the lanterns. Romance! It is a pity that so many boys now do not know this joy.
From under the bridge, pushing the barge in front of it, a tug appeared and passed us - in the lights and all breathing warmth and comfort.
- I love the Irtysh in the evening hours! .. - said Timofey Maksimovich and suddenly shuddered at these words. He looked at me and repeated those words again.
- But this is a poetic line! - I exclaimed. "
On the same evening, the poet wrote a poem:
I love the Irtysh in the evening.
Here the buoy flashed,
ignited by the twilight.
And on the edge of a whitening braid
The fisherman, armed with a spoon, has quieted down.
A tug with a heavy barge passed
With flowers in the wheelhouse, with farewell music.
And little kulichka, as if a stranger to everyone,
Suddenly burst into tears
on the shallow sad...
