SUMMER SOLSTICE AT STONEHENGE (Palindrome)

Sun!
In my halo,
open,
I mull its altar: All.

I plait its lost light.
I lag, emanating:
I lay a ray, align.

I tan a megalith gilt.

Solstitial pillar, at last illumine —
pool a hymn in us.

@hool415 Fantastic opening. Aren't we all interested in 'the mechanics of prayer'. Excellent!

@RosieP4 @neuralinked3 @RealBlackIrish Having a shocker here

[Mullet @Mulls05]

@RosieP4 @RealBlackIrish @SurLiott9 Rosie, take a look at the account you're speaking with and the @CommunityPlann1 are retweeting... Do you want these allies in your corner?

@blackboughpoems Thank you - an honour to be included in such a fantastic publication!

@Memashma @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Thanks Marion. It's amazing how much they eat - by the time they leave they've shrunk all their organs except their heart and lungs to make more room for fat. Bit like me at Christmas.

Bird week @TopTweetTuesday with @MatthewMCSmith. Wanted to tell the story of the longest non-stop flight of a small shorebird, the Bar-Tailed Godwit, that flies up to 13500km without stopping. I used a banned word but in Maori so it doesn't count...

@TopTweetTuesday @RoyallMargaret @Memashma Noted! Thanks for the boost. I thought perhaps Elon was threatened by the power of art, but your explanation makes more sense...

@MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday Thanks Matthew. The Māori translation is "Who has seen the nest of the Kuaka?"
