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

Flat and scattered green

But now in this desert scape

Dragging our bags behind.

Pink is a halfway colour, isn't it? Unthreatening, which is why it's so scary...

Posted on Fri, 02 Feb 2018

Very interesting to read his story. I only really knew of him from hearing an interview about how by the time they let working class people into Oxford it was so dummed down there was no point going there, and that the elites never accepted him...

Posted on Sun, 17 Sep 2017

Your diaries whizz past, to read. You seem to be having health worries at both ends! I hope you are all better, now. Your vet trip with Manoushka has reminded me that Tina was meant to be going in today. Every day since I made the appointment she...
