in Just-
spring when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame balloonman
whistles far and wee
and eddieandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it's
spring
when the world is puddle-wonderful...

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 page

This was displayed outside the RGS building in London, and I'm still quite proud of it.
Today is #NationalPoetryDay and here is my offering:-
On National Poetry Day,
in case you’re unaware,
the greatest way to comfort a pedant is
there, they’re, their
The frog leapt off the log,
Was the frog safer, or the log
It hopped and hopped
Then popped
Bang goes the frog and the log

I'm recording music later, in a freezing, leaking shed
I've got a broken rib and I've got a very broken head
At least I am not spending time wishing I was dead
But I'd give you both my feet if I could be tucked up in bed

Screenshot of a poem by EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why, I have forgotten, and what arms have lain Under my head till morning; but the rain Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh Upon the glass and listen for reply, And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain For unremembered lads that not again Will turn to me at midnight with a cry. Thus in the winter stands the lonely tree, Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one, Yet knows its boughs more silent than before: I cannot say what loves have come and gone, I only know that summer sang in me A little while, that in me sings no more.
Screenshot Poem by Gabriel Rosenstock It was like a miniature of some sculpture by Calder Your cactus in the kitchen. It had signs of your nursing On one broken limb - A splint! I never saw such kindness (nor suppose I ever will) to a prickly thing Your love poured out in that room And everything burst into bloom.
Inspired by @darach.bsky.social to share two of my favourite poems for #nationalpoetryday
The second one is fiendishly hard to find online but is by Irish poet Gabriel Rosenstock.
Saw it years ago on the London Underground and was immediately captivated.

Pass me, my Darling
Another bag of gochujang
Shrimp crackers.
Their ammoniacal flavor,
While offensive to you,
Is the only thing -
Other than you -
That I crave.
