Terns and gulls hook at the air,and salt marsh sheep scatterlike chalky clouds on green hills. She walks along a…

    Day 21: Miz Quickly’s Emotion and PA’s Ekphrasis Poem The Postman’s Daughter There was a time of innocence.A child’s care with tinsel and looping bobbles on branch ends,  but sky always overclouded, darkened with flaws of grey.A postman’s daughter knows —   Christmas is not a happy time. A postman’s feet are worlds of pain. A delivery of misery…
