World Poetry Day: Guest Poem: Written by the Lovely Zoe Marriott

In an attempt to showcase poetry in the school library today, I asked Zoe if she would share a poem with us. She is a fantastic advocate of the beauty of poetry, even making up quick haiku poems on twitter. The following poem is stunning - ENJOY.

THE HEARTBREAK OF DREAMS

I have a dream of the summer whisper of wind high up amongst green boughs

And darts of gold piercing patterns of leaf shadow

I have a dream of the soft movement of water

And ripples with dark underbellies curling on river stones

And I feel the brush of warm air against my cheek

Velvety and fluttering like a bird’s wing

That disappears with a sweet, aching throb of song

And takes the dream and the summer with it

And leaves me, eyes welling

In darkness…

 

Thanks to Zoe for sharing that beautiful poem with us.
