Rug Rat by Robin Ince

The joy of being in the now 📖

#poemAltText #usealttext #poetrycommunity #poetsofbluesky #poetryforall
robinince.bsky.social Robin Ince @robinince.bsky.social · Oct 19
A poem about when you are small and each moment is everything #poem

Book available here cosmicshambles.myshopify.com/products/ice...
RUG RAT Right NOW The whole world is this rug All of space is here Two plastic cars propelled By my small hands Thoughts end at the tassels of the carpet Later and it's NOW again And only NOW The whole world is the mixing bowl Small strands of candied peel So orangey I taste the sweetened wood of the spoon Cake ooze drips and fingers licked NOW it is only night The world of always black Dark enough for monsters But shooed away by the hedgehogs in my nightlight All that NOW is now a then The rug has gone The oven's cold There's nothing in the mixing bowl The hedgehogs fell The dark is thicker I wonder who I was Before I became 'I am' When I was ever present Not constructed by a past Blurred photo of young md QR codes "I'm safe here behind the sofa..." A collection of instinctual poetry pursuing the psychological essence of personal and societal wellbeing, explored through experiential neurodivergence and humanism. "Choice words chosen wisely. Highly recommended for all humans who retain their humanity." Henry Normal "Robin's poems embody the bravery that comes with vulnerability and a reverence for being here and loving every moment of it." Josie Long "This is poetry to play and replay as each poem's colours change and layers of meaning glow." Dr Kathryn Mannix "Each of these poems is a treat. A brief moment of connection, slipped between the pages of a hectic world." Reece Shearsmith "Bright snapshots of where we are, our nature and humanity, our sensitivities, our rage and our happiness." Salena Godden

Protect and Survive By Dawn McLachlan I still remember what the underside of my school desk looked like Counting the pocks of dried gum to get through the drill and the sound of the siren four minute warning I wasn't sure I could spell everyone's name If I needed to write tags for their toes The leaflet didn't say How long would it take to lose my hair Or my teeth That winter I was jealous of the kids with thick coats That looked as they could hold back fallout If we laid down in ditches To wait for an all clear That might never come

This poem was written for an anthology of #spacepoems for young people. The first version wasn’t quite right so didn’t make the cut. An updated version here for #poemsabout #blacksky

Once an astronaut Dawn McLachlan When I was deemed too old to fly they gave me a clock and said goodbye and all that I had left was time so I sat and watched it turn Tired of waiting for something more I bought a cabin on a deep lake shore and settled to let myself grow old dreaming of times long past But on perfect nights when the pale clouds fled and darkness leaked from the skies and bled into all the forest around my home I went down to the lake alone When the breeze is gone and the night is still I dip my oars in black water until I row out beyond the reach of all and look to the skies above I think of those who went before brave souls risking everything to explore Mariners watching out for land as they sailed the blackened seas I wonder then if they too yearned with aged bones and long rest earned for times gone past, out there alone with stars guiding them home

Promises by Dawn McLachlan I came back for you And searched the ways of a child In the meanders of the river Where the pools ran deep and cold To where we dreamed of flying Down hills pitted with barbs Among the hollowed trees I walked with crooked gait The paths where I once flowed In the vastness of memory A place so shrunken now And hoped to rescue you still I dreamed I walked with you a while And silvered all the fading scars As if a bright constellation newly fallen All yearning scattered like dust In time I took a different turn The long road curved away and I lost you I promised to come back for you But relieved, I found you gone

Friday poem

#fridaypoem #poetrycommunity #poetryforlove #poetryforall
Cows in the field I travel beside green pastures and still I say it Though you are grown and your hand has long since slipped from mine into the hand of someone else who loves you too I still say it When you pass by green pastures I know that you will smile and hear me Image shows this poem by Dawn McLachlan on a white background with a black and white drawing of a cow in the bottom right corner.
