When I Write

Cherry

I delight in writing

about the sky

with its colours

and windy tussles

while below

stories need telling

about life among

those in cities

and towers with

country folks

playing songs 

that paint the past.

 

I also cherish writing

about people’s

lives and anything else

that runs or flies

with me on

a carpet of imagination

gratefully placed

into an assembly-line

of magic moments

on a flight to somewhere.

Thank you Jenny. I agree, poetry can also engage personal feelings and aspirations.

"Windy tussles" is perfect. also I love the idea of you flying over beautiful forests and water in Canada on your magic carpet, chewing a biro and thinking up your next poem
