The dust has settled
Don’t Miss This Wonderful Poem by K
With opening and closing
Creaky doors,
An abandoned home
Of broken drawers.
The attic has secrets
The basement holds webs,
There’s old holey sofa
And a damaged bed.
Once a loving home
Forgotten by time,
The dials on the grandfather clock
Have lost their chime.
An energy was left
It walks through the halls,
Singing sweet melodies
That echo through the walls.
The sun’s presence
Highlights the dust,
As the heat stagnates the air
And amplifies the smell of must.
The overgrown lawn
Once held many features,
Now it’s barely recognisable
Yet appreciated by many creatures.
There’s charm and character
That remains in this place,
Held within a ghostly moment
In time and space.

Soul letter
Please Come And Enjoy this Great Poem!!!!
The alphabet fluctuates
From letters to emotion,
As we embed our passions
On pages forever frozen.
We string text together
And give it a meaning,
Then we open our souls
To a dictionary of feelings.
Rhymes become inked
With broken hearts,
For the bleeding poetry
To be called art.
Words become characters
As we make them whole,
We fill letters with ideas
And words with soul.

Acquainted with the Night by Robert Frost
Don’t Miss This Post!!!
I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.
I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another sireet,
But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
One luminary clock against the sky
Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right
I have been one acquainted with the night.
Sharing this piece from Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Robert Frost, who died on this day in 1963. Aside from The Road Not Taken and Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, Acquainted with the Night is infamous in its own right…

One wise fool
One honest liar
One lucky loser
One stoic crier
One tall dwarf
One cold mum
One brave coward
One active bum
One living ghost
One evil saint
Can count to infinity
And back again
The Field of Us – Poem by Ali Grimshaw
I am a blade of grass held by other blades surrounding. One blade in a field of many. Close together/alone. Our sides hold us faces to the sky. Reaching toward sunlight side by side in directions wide. None to be flattened. © Ali Grimshaw 2022

Morning Dawning
Another early morning and the beach is quiet and still the sea a mirror calm barely moving there until the world around in slumber slowly wakes up with the dawn and I again am thankful that another day is born
