@LisaFal @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith @blackboughpoems This is masterful! The delicacy of these near imperceptible spaces…between snail and shell!
And that narrowest of bridging, lace to thin light.
Brilliant!

[Matthew M C Smith @MatthewMCSmith]

@LisaFal @TopTweetTuesday @blackboughpoems Ooh, I like this. The detail and very deliberate word choice. 🤩

[Lisa Falshaw @LisaFal]

@blackboughpoems What a pity I can't make that date but I am sure it will be fabulous!!

[Lisa Falshaw @LisaFal]

@MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday @blackboughpoems Thank you Matt! 😁

I've been absent from TTT for a few weeks for various reasons but very happy to be here today with my nod to William Carlos Williams.
Thanks as ever to @MatthewMCSmith

@MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday Oooh that sudden shift between stanza one and 2 - excellent.

[Lisa Falshaw @LisaFal]

@hool415 @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday Oh this is just so clever! Beautifully controlled and developed metaphor. That third stanza!! But also, all of it!! ❤️

[Lisa Falshaw @LisaFal]

@PaulDragonwolf1 @MatthewMCSmith @blackboughpoems @TopTweetTuesday Love this. The air breezes through your poem. I really like "The blossom has no hold on the ground" so presumably neither did it on the branches in these summer gusts so twice uprooted! Lovely!

[Lisa Falshaw @LisaFal]

@ITattum @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith @blackboughpoems Excellent. Love "shaking the days loose of their dust" and love the sudden shift to the outside in the last stanza.

[Lisa Falshaw @LisaFal]

@RoyallMargaret @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith @blackboughpoems I love "summer's idle philanderings"!

[Lisa Falshaw @LisaFal]

@AliceStainer @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith I love the "sedge-stalk legs".

[Lisa Falshaw @LisaFal]

@AliceStainer @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday @blackboughpoems Thanks Alice.

I haven't had time these last days to give full attention to a cosmic poem for @TopTweetTuesday but I have just been reading them and thoroughly enjoyed how wonderfully inventive and clever they are. Hopefully will be back next week.

@MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday I am actually wallowing in the language here!

[Lisa Falshaw @LisaFal]

@Glenn_A_Barker @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday This is my migraines in a poem!! Never thought of them as beautiful before - I shall in future although they do seem to be under control with rather scary medication at the moment. That first stanza - so immediate. Great poem.
