Most pleasantly surprised and more than chuffed to receive this commendation of my 2022 collection: "As Folktaleteller". Thank you, Carolyn.

A #LifttotheSky for this amazing collection of sonnets by the brilliant Paul Brookes @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social who contributes so much to the #poetrycommunity. Published in 2022, but new to me, it explores myth and legend with grace and wit

In the face of a God,
how inadequate we feel
Standing before a mountain
how insignificant we are
Talking to a genius
we are lost for words
and we are just mere speck
in a vast universe

..think if you give yourself away.. whether it’s your words, your art.. in the sharing.. your lessons.. knowledge.. grace.. heart.. you run the risk of being wildly misunderstood.. and it’s both beautiful.. and unforgiving..

Spikes cut and slashed in
The thorny thicket, but the
Rabbit, safe for now.

Bumped into a unicorn
who was totally down
He’d lost his spike
in a fight
the jewel of his crown
He was like a man
who has lost the will to live
his prowess was gone
without his spiky thing
All I could think of
was for him to see a shrink

Lips on skin
Tracing down
Lower
Lower
Sampling nectar
Lustfully drinking
More and more
Unceasingly.
In the afterglow
#Haunted feelings
Of silk lips
Still there
Always.
