Beat the Blank Page Exercise: May 2004

"This day"

(by Kirsty Bennett)

This poem 'This day' was sent by Kirsty Bennett and  inspired by May 2004's exercise. I love the way it opens up in the last stanza to what can't be directly observed.

 This Day
 
This day I see

dunes with picket fences

estuary flowers

a maple leaf

framed in blue

 

This day I hear

cooing mothers

cawing gulls

lawnmowers

a rumbling sea

 

This day I feel

the transit of Venus

though the sight of it I missed

I know that there

sulphuric acid rains

scorching as my tears
