#poetry #Nature
Small is the harbour
That releases darkness, shielded
By a cove of tenderness

@TaoPoetry love this!

Gravitating towards #poetry #humanity
The other side
Of our humanity
Drifting outwards
Beyond and between
A frozen beam
Adjusting to the light
As speckled dust
Settles, for less
Than deserved
🌤️💧

(The Scottish borders - earlier this year)

A sparrow in my hand #poetry #nature
Twig-like legs
Fragile wings
The lightness it brings
Crumbs of kindness
Hand unsure
Is it my hunger
Or yours...
To have
A sparrow in my hand

(Holy Island - Northumberland) 🌿🪶

[Paula S. @PSmith65063151]

@RealisticPoetry Profoundly asleep
Silence, not a peep
Fur like velvet
Upon his borrowed
Throne of wool
Laying still
Breathing dreams
Of past and present
A humans best friend….🐶

A hazy day ahead #micropoetry #poetry
Without much said
Sightings of coasts
Generous hosts

Tred carefully
Before tides rise
And embrace
Holy Island

Quaint and rich
An emotional ditch
Navigating around
…chanting bird sound

But sip the grace
Historical space...

@LStewart_books Beautiful! Is it Musselburgh?

🐦‍⬛🍂. #poetry
A starling in flight
…nature’s delight
Winged, up held

(….Holy Island )

@curlewcalls Beautiful!

[Paula S. @PSmith65063151]

Shimmering on... #poetry #nature
Across the stillness
Of shallow waters
The causeway
Letting traffic
Go with the ebb
And flow
Rest your soul
In the grounds
Of the aromatic
Coffee
Served up
As birds surround
This spot
in hazy sunshine....

@GeneVatow Beautiful!

@RealisticPoetry The harvest moon reflects on water, as the post thunder aura remains like a three way mirror.

[Paula S. @PSmith65063151]

@Moonlit_Musee powerful reading...A Thousand Splendid Suns also worth the read.

[Paula S. @PSmith65063151]

Whispers from a breeze #poetry #nature
Soft and imploring
The thistles spiked front
Framing the blended grass
Which delights
The pollinators task
As walkers boots
Touch down
Beside the welcome
Buzz....

@RealisticPoetry Swirling spoon, preventing gloom as the aroma erupts gently.

@RealisticPoetry Drive…

[Paula S. @PSmith65063151]

@ScotNational this is encouraging - very special creatures.

[Paula S. @PSmith65063151]

@RealisticPoetry to observe...

[Paula S. @PSmith65063151]

@RealisticPoetry it is concise but portrays deep connection - I hope...
