beyond the grey

not to be reproduced 1937 Magritte




raven black
iridescent feathers
back to back
wings clipped
straight
to the side
unseen eyes 
focus
on the far horizon
where the lark ascends
singing to the sun
as a gentle breeze
lifts spirits
soaring into cobalt blue
singed with ozone
look why don't you
and see beyond the grey walls
of winter.

What an extraordinary image...go to The Mag to see the other poets work.

Walking today in the very cold and snow scattered landscape.... high above me the skylarks where singing fluttering higher and higher until i lost sight of them in the clouds....i love them....they fill my heart with their song and their apparent  joy...which seems boundless.

I dare you!

faun horse and bird by Picasso 1936

Balanced on the rocky outcrop

we dared each other

to dive

into unknown waters

pirouetting and twirling 

for the best advantage

we pushed and pulled 

dissolving into fits

and shakes of giggles

anxious mothers watching from the tower

gasped as we fell together

into the choppy sea.

coral beach

walking down through lush
clover,
red and white,
tiny butterflies rise around us
in unison
we reach the beach
salt spray fills the air 
white sand of shell
and coral
crunches
and we stare at the infinite horizon
breathless with the beauty
washed pure in our own thoughts.

This is about a beautiful beach on the Isle Of Skye that I visited many years ago but the smell of the sea, clover and that gorgeous white sand remain with me.

Meal Beach, Burra Isles, Shetland by Robin Gosnall 

Forget-me-not blue

forget- me- not blue

delicate silk stitched

by my open window

in early spring

gathered pleats fold

as outside  sparrows argue

over this and that

emerging blooms of hyacinths

scent  my dappled sun lit garden

as catkins wave 

pollen cascades

to a promise of bees

i stare  distant horizions

watching the rain clouds

gathering dark.
