My stories

Cherry

U is for Under the Tree

island in rush-before where mysteries gather arched hush in storm's furor gives small creatures cover
Cherry

T is for Tinsel and Twigs

plastic starlight glinting galaxies on a thread buds on tree-tips hinting wild faith in Spring ahead
Cherry

S is for Snow

light smooths, soothes curves; walk in sleeping prisms' peace sight's a white wall, smell's all, cold's hungry, move or freeze
Cherry

R is for Reindeer and Roe deer

Gold cherry

Posted on Tue, 24 Jan 2023

Yes! How aweful now though to listen to Just William and imagine him becoming that! But Thankyou, too, because listening to Just William on radio mostly gives dialogue and not so much description, and that is a brilliant quote!

Am not sure...

You anchor your poem in
