WHAT'S THIS?

Having been immersed in memoir writing for many months, I decided to write a small poem every day for a year to keep my poetic hand in. I've posted them to Instagram and facebook as written – where, to my amazement, people love them – but on this blog they are sometimes subject to later rewriting.

On a still, cold night ...

On a still, cold night, the few sounds – 

a lone car, a distant train, a dog barking 

briefly – could all break my heart.

They sound so lonely, so haunting.


Something, or someone, is leaving. 

Someone or something has gone.

Am I longing for the return? Or do I yearn 

to be setting out myself on a far journey?
