Na Po Wri Mo – April 22 2023


The challenge today was to take an Emily Dickinson poem and craft it into something else, adding and subtracting words and altering line breaks. I chose her poem ‘Hope’ and my own feelings about a walk we did today along the white cliffs of Dover.


Delight

is a thing 

with feathers.

It soars above 

the white cliffs 

of Dover where 

buttercups glow. Ā 


Delight 

sings without 

words. 

It rises

like the skylark,

spiralling

higher and higher.


Delight 

is shimmering 

white.

It flows in

with the waves

and settles

in the soul.Ā
