one acorn falling through ten thousand years of oak into this moment #haiku
Photograph taken in central Virginia of the base of an oak tree in the woods with acorns scattered before it. Through the foliage in the distance, you can see the river. Sunlight is streaming down through the branches.

I hope everyone is having a good Friday. I am having a busy one, so am going to post this and run! I will leave reading everyone else's until tonight when I can hopefully relax 😌 #PoemsAbout #Rot @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk #Poetry
Slow Death

My mother's garden once held itself together
the way a thought survives a sleepless night,
each bed and border aligned
to some private geometry of care.

Now rot works through it
like a forgotten language returning
to the mouth.

Apples soften where they land.
Pears remain aloft, unchosen,
moons refusing their eclipse.

The shed folds inward by degrees,
its boards separating from one another
old friends who have exhausted
every story.
Rain collects in the bench.
The wood drinks and drinks,
remembering old thirsts.
The fence gives up its straight lines.
One panel lies down in the nettles,
gravity has won the argument.

Nothing is cleared.
Leaves gather,
brown receipts from a season
that no longer keeps records.

I walk there and feel
time changing shape.
Not passing, but thickening.

Everything she touched
continues the cycle without her.

The trees stand crowded with
their unfinished offerings,
and death hangs on the branches:
a bruised apple
holding one square of light.

#NationalPoetryDay Still quite proud of this one. It was displayed outside the Royal Society of Geography :) 🌠🌌🪐
A
pencil
lead, if you
zoom in on it
with a microscope
is first a dark expanse,
but each magnification
reveals candescent clusters:
galaxy filament in graphite -
Let my pencil leave gauzy
comet tails in its wake,
nebula of dreams
across the stark
cosmos of
empty

A cloud and a glowing streetlamp reflected in a rain puddle on wet pavement, with raindrops making small ripples across the reflected sky.

"You ok?" "Yeah. Why?" "There's a #cloud hanging over you." "Yeah. Happens from time to time." "Is it going to rain?" "Sooner or later yeah." "Could you stand in my garden when it does?" "Might thunder & lightning too." "Oh. Then don't." "I won't." "Ok. Any idea what causes it?" "Not a 1." #vss365
