How lovely, Susan.
We were delayed by a long day of travel.
day break water's edge--
suddenly from winter's fog
geese break the silence
as a #kenning (maybe)
cloud trumpets
Sometimes a #haiku is like a long-form #kenning. Perhaps
winter's teeth
or, reusing your image,
winter's fangs
or, as one of the other poets wrote,
frost bite
If you are a teacher, a children's poet or have kids, it would mean the world if you would consider subscribing to my Youtube channel, I post poetry for children and teachers.

Atmospheric reading of 'Ravensong', my 'xeno' prose-poem published in the Cthulhu Books anthology 'Making Kin' (2023). The density of language and imagery inspired by the Old Norse poem 'Hrafnsmál' as well as Old English material. #mythology #raven #valkyrie #norse #poetry #performance #kenning
Nice #kenning. Is that a quote?
she’s hangs on
tenterhooks
drying out with wet sheets
hot grief of the elm tree
but she won’t set
spreading capillaries
on her mother’s cheek
bursts of viscera
you are clean
she is a slaughterhouse
