Feet feel the ground

beneath my soles

Assuringly solid

A familiar friend

 

Shoulders the clouds

that knit overhead

Shielding forever

of the stars and cold

 

My old jacket

an advent calendar

of pockets and finds

Last winter’s coins

 

Satsuma rinds

This is beautiful Socialeaf - love the idea of pockets being like advent calendars!

Thank you insert, for reading and often commenting on my stuff. It used to be that I would delete things within a few minutes of posting them, but now, (and your kind words play a big part in this) I only do it about half the time:)

Me too, I like solid earth under my feet, the sea can take you so easily. Keep your feet on the ground and reach ofor the stars!

Keep well & Nolan

(by the way and hope not stupid, but what are Satsuma Rinds?)

Thank you for reading it. 'Rind' here is used as a (hopeful) synonym to 'peel'. I like the sound of the two words together:)

  Well done, multum in parvo indeed. As Insert pointed out, jacket pockets as advent calendar is some conceit. Marvellous.

Please, would all members share on whatever Social Media they use?

I like the weathered sense of endurance, of rediscovered preserved past, in a ritual of seasons 

Delightful

Love this, especially the title and the idea of those rinds hardening in your pocket over summer and autumn. The link back to last mid-winter. Beautiful.
