Monday, January 31

me and my big coat ways
sloping into the year ahead

throwing the net forward
for the coming catch

going the way the fish will run
which is all ways


I don't care how cold you feel, winter
you are dead to me from here

for I know of only two seasons:
going forth and drawing in

Thank you January, and goodbye
what will spring yield to us next?

  3. Thank you Lisa, for the comments and the 'follow'! This space is like a reminder and a challenge to keep my poetry in touch with my life, my days. Which also means it's more vulnerable than I'm used to, so I appreciate the encouragement! I'm pretty good at speaking from the heart, now I want to write from the 'bones' too, since that's more like true inward feeling maybe.

    And so funny about your daughter! I was going to add a disclaimer to this blog when I named it: Granny's Chicken* ... *not affiliated with Granny's Chicken :D
