Gold cherry
Poem of the week

X is for xxx

kisses at message end when words run out of sense writing from sky to land in lines of bird footprints

Cherry

W is for Wrapping Paper and Wind (another go at this)

concealed within patterns every present holds hope high, invisible turns of air change how lives shape
Cherry

V is for Voices

spark of carols' joining memories, every age robin's song - day's shining swarf curls on night's sharp edge
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

Scozen :0) Thank You so much for reading. You come from Loch Lomond! We live on one of the islands, but may be moving to be nearer Edinburgh, as my son has a place at Napier, and it is going to be a wrench. I am so happy to have taken you back to...

your description of tower

Posted on Thu, 07 Aug 2025
