6 June: for Poetic Bloomings

wild garlic in the woodland, trees, green and white, AI in the style of harry clarke.

The last day of May, and the wind is a concussion. A howling violence. A motorcycle shriek. Leaves snap away from the day. But the wild garlic, its pearly blooms and barreling scent, it refuses intimidation. The rain comes in spines. In bricks. Sharp. A growl from a thousand miles out at sea. And a robin sits on the fence. Sings. Red breast against spring green. Its music is like stars rushing at the sky. It sings and sings, and then it’s ferried off in the wind.

We are grains of sand
Waltzing the floor in the wind
Be still. Still my wings.

  1. Some great lines in there. One of my all time favourite poems is Ted Hughes “Wind” if I remember correctly, it begins “The house has been a ship at sea all night”…

    1. It’s hard to beat “Floundering black astride and blinding wet” for a catchy little line.

  3. John’s quote of “The house has been a ship at sea all night” reminded me of when Hurricane Laura destroyed my apartment with me and Midnight still in it! He still hasn’t forgiven me for that experience or his 7 months in Vet Prison as I roamed those months homeless! https://rolandyeomans.blogspot.com/2023/06/audiobooks-are-good-for-you-iwsg-post.html
