A poet finds no joy in errant words,
those misbehaving dogs
which will not come to heel,
how can they delight us
when they may turn round and bite us

A strait is an aperture
a break in a piece of land,
it allows two different oceans
to hold each other's hand
#vss365 #strait

written after my stroke

The woman in the wheelchair
still finds you funny although her laugh is silent
it is lost in shadow and smoke
hid beneath the #cloak of her stroke
you can tell her a joke
she will probably get it
although the speaker may have gone
her sense of humour lives on

Silly little poem really

Morning beach
flat calm but bright
sips with ice the winter light
glass reflects in
rockpool puddles
filled with tangled seaweed muddles

Trying out a cover design for book 3 of my fantasy series-any opinions? #books #fantasy #writers

As a 9 yr old chorister- the poet in me loved evensong in our little country church

Vespers,
a time to think
of the day we have had
there is nothing more beautiful
or so sad
#vss365 #vespers

#vss365 #solitude

5am,
snuffed between the fingers of the day
slumming stars and a night not fully broken,
the waking world, its petals still to open
is filled with silent promises unspoken

Silhouette,
they cut out the girl that once was me,
filled my face with the space where I used to be

Been practicing making reels out of my poems-I'm adding sound now and everything-get me. #poem #reels #instagram #vss365

Mycelium hair
frames her lovely face,
arms flung wide
in silent embrace,
fingers float
lilies uncurled,
peaceful she floats
slipped from the world
#vss365 #mycelium

This old gal has been learning how to put reels on her poems-this is today's effort #vss365 #souvenir #poetry
