Micropoetry - January 2018

Yes, it's half-way through February. But when has that ever stopped me from doing a Micropoetry wrap-up? 😎

Here, then, is the Micropoetry I wrote in January:

(Quick warning: the one for 22nd January came out as more of a downer than I intended!)

6th Jan

Kid:

Be the wolf in the night

Be the birdsong at dawn

Be the short shadows at noon

Be the blue of the dusk

Be the gust of wind

at their backs

And the light in the dark,

Be the fire in their bellies

And most of all,

kid,

give 'em hell.

19th Jan

I tried to explain

That the only time

You should look down

On the Valleys

Is when you're on

The mountain top.

But if I have to explain,

Then you'll never understand.

22nd Jan

I felt the tears,

Too far behind my eyes to fall.

I felt the tears,

As if I'd cried them a long time before,

I felt the tears,

the exhaustion that comes after their fall.

I cried the tears,

But they weren't my tears at all.

31st Jan

Strip it down

Until it's just you

Holding onto a thread of the universe.

Then weave it into life.

What'd you think? Any good? And also a huuuge thanks to anyone who's liked or RT'd any of my Micropoetry on Twitter :)
