When our daughter was a year old she had heart transplant A gift given to us in our darkness by a stranger in their own She was given back to us, not fixed but better. Every day after that has been a gift, every day a day we shouldn’t have had #Poetry #Poemoftheday #giftoflife #donatelife

I love how this poem moves from funny to serious I've seen this. The bar in Belfast International Airport. We heard the alarm, could smell the smoke & sat on & finished our pints. I have witnessed the second half of the poem too. It's time to pour our pints on the fire #Poetry #Poemoftheday

Today is the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima One of my poems. Ferebee was the bombardier on the Enola Gay Before joining the USAF he hoped to be a baseball player I've read his public statements about the bombing, but public words & private thoughts can differ #poetry #poemoftheday

Head-Scratcher A finger to the head, where musings go unread, to quell the fretful itch. The pose of one who weighs unquiet thoughts, conveys a pensive little twitch. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #reflex #introspection

there is much joy to be found in rushing rivers and waterfalls, and long hikes through winding woodland trails; and summer camping adventures in the company of young beloveds. #NaturePhotography #Photography #Waterfall #NatureIsMyMuse #Poem #PoemOfTheDay #Poetry #River #Grandchild #Camping #Joy

Today is the anniversary of the conviction & sentencing to transportation of Tolpuddle Martyrs, 6 agricultural labourers from Dorset In their memory I'm sharing this poem, later a song, written in 1871 by Eugène Pottier after the Paris Commune was crushed by the French army #poetry #poemoftheday

There is something powerful in the repetition in the line “There will be dying, there will be dying,” & then stepping away, a deliberate turning of attention What remains is what continues in spite of everything, he's not arguing for hope, he notices it #poetry #poemoftheday #MentalHealthMatters

Stationary Progress We claim we've gone so far, But stand where first we are. Our progress leaves a scar. Oldest family shop Of bias, passed with stock Has never closed its lock. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #prejudice

Urgent Strut His bib and tucker fine, His waistcoat, lapis shine, His legs a frantic stride. His plumage, jade and green, His breast burnt orange sheen, This Starling's urgent pace. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #wildlife #animal #photooftheday #Photography #blueskyphoto #photo #starling #bird

Quiet Alchemist The poet’s art is mild, A soul’s confessor styled, With verse that soothes the wild. A rhetorician’s whip, With noose and cunning grip, Subdues the fellowship. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #poet

It’s hard to get the emotions I am feeling into 300 characters The blatant racism displayed in Northern Ireland these last few days is abhorrent What happened in this poem happened this morning in Belfast, not Baltimore. But the person who said it was an adult, not a child. #poetry #poemoftheday

Today is the 90th anniversary of the execution of Roger Casement What is less well known about Casement is that he was an occasional poet. Sharing, not because it's a great poem, but to acknowlede the colonial strategy of language erasure Treasure language, every voice #poetry #poemoftheday
