Skimming Stones | Sula's Blog | Sula1968 A South African poet, potter and mother
The book ‘Small dreams of a Scorpion’ by Spike Milligan had an enormous impact on me and inspired me to write poetry, a passion which has stayed with me ever since paging through the book over and over as a teenager. Recently my husband bought a copy for me which is treasured.
Below is my attempted imitation Titled Spring
Naked winter boughs
Stretch for Spring
Reach for sensed
invisible thing
I went down to the sea today to the lonely sea and sky
I left my shoes and socks there
I wonder if they’re dry
Will never forget that poem by spike – nice post
Excellent! Love it, the man was a genius
