Poets’ Thursday: When
When I painted time, And mapped out seasons When I sketched days, And stretched out poles When I colour’d the night, And twinkled the ether And foamed the seas And trimmed the lea And vexed the gale And freed the dew And sunned the day. When I ensigned across the wet sky, And made a […]
Poets’ Thursday: Yesterday
