wonderful!! - captures my usual experience of spotting a kingfisher perfectly - it's such a sudden & exotic flash - you briefly think it's something supernatural - but maybe you see it more plainly glid down the river a moment later - or maybe you your mind kicks in & says 'ah... a kingfisher' - but that moment of ignorant wonder is pure magic 🎩✨️
"I choose, for moderate comfort, a thin tree
whose tallest branch has yet one leaf
hunched brown. A flag? Defiance? Obstinance?
A declaration I suppose.
I make it mine."
So stoked to share that I’ve accepted a freelance blogging gig at Read Poetry, an online community that celebrates poetry as a form of expression, activism, & self-care.
My first article shares 4 poetry prompts to support self-care and mental wellbeing. Check it out on readpoetry.com, and be sure to subscribe to their blog to get future articles from myself and the rest of the Read Poetry blogging team!
