Andrea Dietrich Poet Sapphic stanza

Moorland

Winter’s dusk forlorn on the moor has found me.

Sky has cried its tears; now I soak in stillness.

All at once, I hear in the gloaming - bird song

flooding the wasteland!

P.S. Awtry February 13, 2019 at 12:38 PM Andrea this is done masterfully--it flows so beautifully--which is not a simple task in any form but especially difficult in this one! BRAVO!

Andrew Fairchild February 13, 2019 at 11:50 AM This is really beautiful!! I can almost hear a brave set of pipes interweaving with the birdsong!

Craig Cornish February 13, 2019 at 10:13 AM The effort was worth it Andrea - I noticed you helped others with their meter, that is a true poet friend. Too many don't even look or try. Bravo to you!

Paul Callus February 6, 2019 at 8:49 AM I love the combination of torrent of rain and the bird's song flooding the moors, Andrea. Dusk and gloaming contribute to a bleak, eerie feeling of wilderness. The topic appeals to my imagination! Regards // paul Andrea Dietrich February 6, 2019 at 3:11 PM thanks so much for noticing the contrast, Paul.
