I feel calm with my bare skin brushing green. The colour of nature, its needs unseen. A transfer of love between us exists, Like the cycle of air that must persist. So many shades envelop my senses, Intoxicating me with their riches. The darkest green is like a winters cloak, The scent of evergreen pine, […]

Under the Ocean: Lyrical Sunday (Week 8)
It’s Lyrical Sunday time and the theme is ‘Under the Ocean‘. Under the Ocean By Sarah Sometimes I wish I could hide in the deep, blue sea, And sit with an octopus for a cup of tea. Weighted down like an anchor I’d pour out my woes, Where my tears go unnoticed, dripping on my […]

Lyrical Sunday: Birds with guest poem from ‘Chicken’ Grandma!
It’s Lyrical Sunday time! Charlotte set the theme of birds and I really wish I’d made more time to write a poem on this topic. Birds are so inspiring and when I first thought about what to write there were too many ideas coming to me. I found it difficult to settle on one theme. […]
Lyrical Sunday – Week 4: Bags
