All of the world’s rain
like wet flannel overhead
but not a drop falls

So happy to be featured over at Twinkl with a whole bunch of other poets and writers this week.

The more ways we can celebrate National Poetry Month, the better. Especially with teachers!

So thanks, Twinkl — and go HERE to have some poetry fun!

I’m up so early
it’s like it’s still yesterday.
The pink moon agrees.

Migrating birdsong
over the train’s long, low cry…
No one stays for long.

Seasonal longing:
dog’s tongue as divining rod.
Everything’s thirsty.

Wood, sand, stones and shells:
We bring these inside the house
and breathe easier

Gulls fly overhead.
It’s one of the mysteries
nowhere near the sea.

The day starts early
before you defend yourself.
It’s better that way.

On some tight-lipped days
it is hard to catch your breath.
The sky breathes for you.

Not justice so much
as accountability.
George Floyd’s life mattered.
