I like how this poem ends. You take what would otherwise be seen as a trivial thing and make it have gravity and importance, as well as inaccessibility and “specialness” for lack of a better word. thanks!

Thoughtful and beautiful. This made me think about when I was in college, living away from home for the first time. I like your narrative approach – it is well balances with the poetic.

Nice imagery. I love the explosion of dandelions there in the end. I wrote about dandelions too!

This is really interesting work. I love the use of sheep, sleep, and weep. And The mystery of one person holding another’s memories.

Walk this Way
Before you could even walk on your own
We made you dance
No wonder music is your first love

Oh perfect, coordinated machinations
Colony in tandem, unison
Self-regulating, cultivating, communicating, replicating

Electric buzz of glass wings

I love the sense that the bees’ productivity is as efficient as a factory.

Bees may even be more efficient than a factory! They truly are like little machines cx

Tied by invisible thread
Wings spread in silent flutter
Poppies wait for them to land
Tied by invisible thread
Alight, afloat in the […]

Squeezed the universe into corners

Things fell into place.
You spoke as a child to a child,
And I heard

Dear Old Age,
You scare me
You’re the only thing that truly does
Death isn’t the problem
It’s the slow decline on the way there
It’s the decay
The disappointment
The endless letting go

Hi Anne! I was born in Belfast, but moved to California in the 90s. My grandparents lived in Draperstown for many years, near the Sperrins. Where do you live? Also, I’ve enjoyed reading your work, especially the Haiku about your cat and the poem about the children of Lir – one of my favourite pieces of Irish mythology.

Crushed stems filled fat little hands
Till little hands were bitter with milky sap
And when they had gone to s […]

Oh, wait! This was a different hour. It’s still lovely, the memory and the lines. I can see the childlike elation of “send(ing) those weed seeds drifting.”

The Beginning
Beautiful before beauty
destroyer and creator
Out of the vacuum
Out of the oscillations
Out of the vibrations
we were born
hot with no observer
from the silent, bubbling crucible
