The sky does
echo
an evening
song
A simple prayer
for a peaceful
night
The trees &
hedges
with homes
a plenty
call nature’s
families
to snuggle tightly
It’s time to sleep
oh weary
creatures
Tomorrow’s dawn
shall bring new
light.

Hello @helenmort.bsky.social and welcome to you and the trees to #PoetsOfBluesky #poetrybluesky #naturewriting
Ay up. I’m new here and these are some of my favourite silver birch trees at Surprise View. Trees of good bark. Trees that let the sky through. I like to write about such wild-feeling places and the people who value them (my last book was a biog of environmental campaigner Ethel Haythornthwaite).

Clown in the moon
My tears are like the quiet drift
Of petals from some magic rose;
And all my grief flows from the rift
Of unremembered skies and snows.
I think, that if I touched the earth,
It would crumble;
It is so sad and beautiful,
So tremulously like a dream.

The Blue Hour by Angelina D’Roza with @longbarrowpress.bsky.social is one beautiful book. Interesting in interconnected form. Check out the series of Correspondences within. And birdsong on the crags. #poetry #poetrybluesky #PoetsOfBluesky #naturewriting
To both possess and be possessed by what has been forbidden.
Do we ever learn to live with less? The literal work
of keeping the apricots from going to waste. I want this.
