I thought it unfair that Leanne our shop steward puts lots of other people's poetry here, yet we never see any of hers. After reading her newly written book of poetry called Ghost dreaming, I saw this poem in it and remembered she first posted it on our very own pages here at The Pig Pen. I took another look at her poem here and felt someone should do her the honour she does for others. So I did;
She the Night
She is seedblown longpause sit and sigh
to underline, not undermine
to redefine
She’ll try
with subtle slaps to empathise
through murky mists most asinine
take tea and scones with Frankenstein,
Dorian and I
Feet once muddied stride across the sky
head bowed, I realise
that she, like swan knight mystic Lohengrin
can never speak of powers near divine
to soothe and salve; her shine
is shaded by innocuous disguise
My sighs and I
to compromise
shall bind her with poetic line
and thus enshrine
(parenthesise)
this punctuated paladin
and idolise
her phrases fine
while she, all elements
centrifuged
becomes white
space
promise
This poem and it's critiques can be found here
