GIVE THANKS

I met with the Secret Poets on Wednesday and as usual they aided me to produce a better poem [or two]. You can read the earlier draft here.

CLOUD WATCHING

Switch off that phone

you do not need to look up

the scientific names

they just are

so invest them with a new mythology

to unfold across the afternoon

move to this new rhythm

truly you are in no hurry

give thanks for this brief space

So what has changed. The third line has been shortened, as has the sixth line and final two lines have been removed. The poem is now officially complete. Thanks Secrets.

I know I've mentioned that Alela Diane has a new album out, but you should really try and listen to it. It is excellent.

Until next time.
