Worm Rose

By onemorething on Sat, 08 Feb 2020

I wrote a poem called Shallow Graves once. I have reused the title as I have lost the poem. I don't think it was very cheery. In Sweden, dandelions are called worm roses.

This is very moving, Jenny.

This is very moving, Jenny. Have read your explanation behind the poem. I'm so sorry that your mum was in such a distressed place and that you went through this terrible experience. Your last line has such power, given that, words are so often...

Posted on Sun, 02 Aug 2020

I like this Penny, and I think that is so true that we are each viewing the world through our own prisms of experience. Prisms is such a good way of framing it. I like the way too that you take this from the individual to all the billions of us...

Posted on Sat, 01 Aug 2020

I like the idea of marmalade, buttered toast and sunlight. I'm sure the willow is speaking in code too - trees talk to each other regularly. It's a pity we can't hear them. The willow as a veil / grieving is a lovely image too. Very nice thoughts...

Thanks ld, glad you thought so. Triboelectrical is not a word I made up, it is the word for static electricity which is shared, in this case, between bees and flowers. The bees build static in flight which leaves them positively charged, they are...

Posted on Sat, 01 Aug 2020

Well, I have only David Attenborough to thank for this one. I saw a segment about bees and electrical signals and then looked it up and read a bit about it. Yes, you're right about smell. I wonder what chemical signals we miss as a result of...

Posted on Fri, 31 Jul 2020

This is great. You have a brilliant way of writing something so that it makes you smile as well as see the depth of it. I probably haven't explained that very well, but I know what I meant and it is a good thing. Also I'm going to memorise that...

Thanks littleditty, am glad you like my raptor pondering. Yes, just recycling. The buzzards / grouse situation is grotesque, so distressing. Yeah, humans indeed, all the mindlessly cruel stuff that we do is just inexcusable. Thanks for reading it...

I was going to say that it would be good to see the tattoo, but took it from the arm reference in the poem that it might be difficult, the soft arm twist part of the poem was really good too.
