“MacBeth out-Hughes’ Hughes here. A masterpiece of control, ‘Owl’ is stitched with the kinds of metaphor that capture the brutality of evolutionary purpose in simple, uncompromising phrases”

At the raw end of winter
the mountain is half snow, half
dun grass. Only when snow
moves does it become a hare…—Anna Crowe, “A Calendar of Hares”

in their creaking trees,
the doors of the forest open
for the flitting
drift of deer
among the bright croziers
of new ferns
and the legible stars…—Robin Robertson, “What the Horses See at Night”

Walking in a waking dream
I watched nineteen deer
pour from ridge to glen-floor,
then each in turn leap,
leap the new-raised
peat-dark burn…—Kathleen Jamie, “The Hinds”

At last. After months
of flowers hugging the light
it's our turn to shine.

A black rose blooms in solitude—feared, untouched, yet breathtaking in its uniqueness. 🌹✨
Sometimes, the most beautiful souls are the ones standing alone, waiting for someone who sees beyond the thorns.

New quick poem:
Garden Warfare
My neighbour gardens
like they are at war.
The power tools their artillery
the weedkiller their chemical agent.
Nature must be subdued
all wildness controlled.
I want the Earth to shout
what I can't
to fight back.
But it keeps the peace
like I.
It can only quietly
resist
by killing their brambles.
I can only hope
my organic words
take root
instead.#naturepoetry #gardenpoetry #organicgardening #poetrycommunity
