We who with songs beguile your pilgrimage / And swear that Beauty lives though lilies die, / We Poets of the proud old lineage / Who sing to find your hearts, we know not why ... (James Elroy Flecker)

As the sun rose ...

As the sun rose ...

'Found' Micropoetry 

(From friends' emails)



as the sun rose
over their garden
his brother died 

************                     

A crazy man
crashed into us – the end
of the Subaru. 
A very fickle life! 
Or a mad moon.

************

In Ballarat East
it’s quiet, it’s green. I can walk
to the town centre.
I have a choir venue
and community garden.

************

I feel fulfilled and free
but I need
a new obsession


From Harlots, Season 2, Episode 8:

Grief comes in great gusts 
to blow you down.
The things men do.

************

imagine your tongue
circling the rosy sunrise
of her nipple


(One way to deal with writer's block is to use other people's words!)
