Today, my Throwback Friday poem was originally inspired by the three photos in my article β¦ The photos were all taken by Derrick Knight, who kindly allowed me to reproduce them here for my poem βConnectedβ β¦
The poem also appears in our collaborative Book of Poems and Photographs, “Perceptions”, on page 19.

Connected
up there
under draconian dark clouds
I see a blue moon rising
gracefully shrouding the horizon
meanwhile
back here
on terra firma
woodland autumn leaves are
colourfully crowning her mounds
where natureβs
unruffled fauna are found
gratefully grazing upon her
wounded ground

You painted, two totally, different pictures of here vs., there, and now, all you need to decide is, where, you want to, go. Or, you can, always, go with, nature, she’s never going to, do you, wrong…
