I grew up in a little English town thinking that you needed a magnifying lens to see snowflakes in all their intricacies..then I came to know Canada Winters… other half took this photo…❄️✨

had we the choice we may have stayed stardust not even the sorrows nor shadows darkening the corners of mouths we dwell here inside the hours breathing before dawn for we are weary of hate and fear #micropoetry #poet #poetry #writerslife

walked the four corners of the sprawling land today old bones jagged rocks smooth silt swarming bees razor wires prickly pears dry creeks lost youth new growth still the most impressive part is the quiet you can hear ~ #vss365 #poetry #desert #photography #nature #bloomscrolling

Cloud covers moon in milky cataract, her stars hung loosely on a night threaded lanyard. We are a tiny thump of a heart beneath incomprehension. Mysteries above us that we can only throw wishes at. Time already passed, we are a hope with one step in the future. #vssdaily lanyard #vss365 cataract

Window views. Not always reflective, not always welcoming and definitely each one, unique. Cobwebs of life trail on us all, don't they? 📷by me #poetry #photograhy

I was drawn to the shadows and warm tones along the Red River. “Winter Along the Red” is based on a photo taken at Lindenwood park in Fargo, ND. 🙏🏻 #watercolor #watercolorpainting

“Eat at a local restaurant … Go somewhere you’ve never been… Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends & yourself..Enjoy the ride” AB #WallsonWednesday #RedWed #ECK

I am so honoured and humbled to be invited to speak about The Starbeck Orion and my poetic journey in Sheffield during May or June this year. I am also, running a two hour introductory session on the poetry (in translation) of Nobel Laureate, Czeslaw Milosz this coming Monday.

I call them the two sisters. They listen well when you need to vent and teach you about the seasons should you ask. That's the thing about nature, people seldom ask and yet trees are always willing to answer. #poetry #photography 📷 by me

Rivers are living beings.

there's #harmony in each nail as it's forced between fibres of deadwood, and the splinters of hope-giving light are extinguished. there's acceptance in the notes of #brick clay, and finally giving up, that penetrate like darkness through lifelessness #vss365 #emoetry #lifeless #wildwalkprompt

spring rain— the plow without its mask #haiku #dailyhaikuprompt

The machine woke up from slumber. The machine has got somewhere to go. Comply— or get out. At least, get out of the way. It won’t stop to swallow you inside it. It will crush your bones, still advancing. #Poetry #Poem #BlueskyPoetry

after the flood— one sandal up in the tamarisk #haiku #poetry

early spring beating in harmony butterfly wings #vss365 #haiku
