Beach Boys sang of John B
The song runs in a loop
Can you still remember it?
A big hit - John B’s SLOOP ! 🚤

I feel like doing #PoemADay again.

The Wasteland - T.S. Eliot (my favourite part)

‘You gave me hyacinths first a year ago;

‘They called me the hyacinth girl.’

This rhyme was not a piece of cake
Grandson suggested ‘melody’
Sad music which was often played
After a touching ELEGY

#WordlePoem #PoemADay #Wordle1924

If you are a criminal
Running from the cops
Dash into the forest
And hide out in a COPSE

"At the threshold
of melancholy
is a voice barely heard

a light wrapped in fog
and a piece of steel
longing for flint.

Strike it."
--"Fire Strike," Margaret Noodin (Ojibwe original and English translation)

Loving this month's #poetryintranslation.

There was an old lady called Bessie
She was feeling terribly stressy
Decluttering her house
She disturbed a mouse
And things got decidedly MESSY

"Once death comes for her captain
a boat’s heart is filled with sorrow.
From the pitiful grief that follows
no-one’s immune: whatever you own,
even little boats sailing alone, out at sea
is a hazardous, hard place to be."
--Christine de Pisan, trans. Jane Draycott

Two bridges over the Firth
One for trains, one for cars
I remember the worth
Of crossing the Firth of Forth

Farage stirs up racists
Inspires black-shorts bloke
Reform makes the hate increase
Prejudice they STOKE

These are rarely used these days
You’ve not got one I’ll wager
Little walkie-talkie thing
They call it a PAGER 📟

"For hitherto though I have lost all my time,
Me lusteth no lenger rotten boughs to climb."

As a child we had routines
That had to be done
You could not set off for school
Unless your shoes were SHONE

That sudden midnight storm
Your precious sleep is taken
The thunder and hard rain 🌧️
Ensure that you are WAKEN

#WordlePoem #PoemADay #Wordle1917

Nordic weather can look great
Everything is snowy
People sledging on the slopes
Ski-wear rather SHOWY ⛄️

"Silence is impossible in this century.
Everything howls. It has no way to flourish.
The wild animal of ourselves, this learned condition
growls relentlessly."

From "Noise," Amanda Hernández, trans Ana Portnoy Brimmer
