Words, thoughts, ideas
Scrolling
Chasing
Sparrows between nests
Scruffy
Dust bathers
Noisely demanding notice

Touching the fringes
Of my consciousness

Sounds, sentiments, chords
Pitch
Perfect
Robin round rubicund
Trilling
Reverberating
Challenging the garden

Echoes, ringing
Auditory shadows remembered

Scents, perfumes, motes
Lullaby
Tumbling
King Blackbird
Cadences
Flouncing
Encircling the meadows with melody

Summer
Missing
You

I live, work, play and create from my home in South-West England.
My (very) recent return to writing poetry has been a shock. I knew that I had a lot to say, but not quite as much. I love the spontaneous pieces (most of my poems) and the sense of achievement when I receive a response, and that I have an audience from across the World (thank-you, everyone). My inspirations? The beautiful countryside and coast of North Devon and North Cornwall, my family, the weather: hence my blog title: The Lull After…You can find Shilyot’s blog and more of her awesome poetry, here.
