This Particular Day

Saturday, 16 Apr 2022

The yellow-fingered dawn 

takes my hand

as if to say

Come

I give you this day,

this particular day,

full of earth-scent and bird-song and laughter 

and pain

Live it.

For it will not come again.

MORE OF MY POETRY

Kintsugi: Golden Joinery

A blind man’s fingers
Would trace a path
Across the knotted folds
Of knobbled flesh;

Linger over loss lines

Feel the weeping writ there

Punctuation Poems

O! Most Excellent Exclamation!
and
My Sweet Semi-colon

The Arms of the World

There is a place I go
High on a cliff

Wistful

What a word
‘wistful’ is –

Definitely not getting up to run at dawn

I lie in bed,
reach for the screen

It was a misty, moisty morning

It was a misty, moisty morning

When all the world was new
