Dawn Chorus Contribution: Nrn 2021

…Here,
            as one 
               with 
                the air
            i am a
      stray blade 
of couch grass
      dancing  
        in the 
        wind..
           As
       Life is,
      so am I 
    TODAY..

Isn't this a concrete poem? Looks like couch grass!

I just found something on google about concrete poems and you are right. Even says they can be paired with audio files which is perfect in this case. I appreciate you. Maybe I will practice writing in this style a bit more.

Thanks Robert. Is that what the form should be? I did try to shape it like couch grass. I will go read a little more about concrete poems. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks Jan! I appreciate the positive feedback. Durham is an English gem for sure. Well done to your son! I don’t blame you for wanting to go back there. After the lockdown everything seems so much more beautiful. Hugs Star xxxx
