The heron

Its heart is an old compass
pointing off in four directions.

Ascending tall ladders
that walk to the edge of dusk.

Surely that
would be considered miraculous

almost anyplace

I share unpublished short stories about women in bars on my Substack for paid subscribers (there are about 8 or so of them up there now). Sometimes they even include a brief heron, spider or - like this one - an unexpected goat. open.substack.com/pub/helenmor...

These newsletter prompts are 😱🔥 this week. Be difficult not to write at least three of them.

Thanks @alanparry83.bsky.social #poemsabout

A huge amount of work goes into putting that out for us I'm sure, and it really does work for me each week.
Thanks for showing up for #PoemsAbout — you lot always bring it.

Next Friday’s theme drops tomorrow, unless you're on the newsletter — then it's in your inbox today.

But here’s the big one:

Monday is #LiftToTheSky. Lift others. Give back. No ego. Just love.
