The fire spits sparks of light,
Clouds clearing from the mind’s eye.
Poetically inspired by history weight,
Through this quill to the page,
Scratching words from the feather,
To bring forth words in Coleridge’s haunt.
A silent prayer for justice done,
Under the eye of Romantic royalty.

Performing ‘Flood’ at ‘Poetry and Cake’ night in Art Bank. The #poem tackles grief and when the person most affected by the loss has to be the rock for others who are grieving above their own feelings- all feedback welcome (thanks to @bookscovered.bsky.social for clip) #poet #poetry #poem #writing
