I think she can hear them! Pretty sure that being published on Forgotten Poets is probably the first time these poems have been read in like 100 years - so I think if she could be listening, she is 🖤
Awwww super thankful for your comment Sea! Really means a lot 🖤 And thank you for highlighting these stanzas. I was pretty happy with this one, and feel like I am getting somewhere with the way I can navigate images through layerings of words and concepts. And yeah - really appreciate you!
I love this post, Dick. It's interesting how many poets from many years ago struggled with their lives for various reasons and seem to have turned to poetry as an outlet.
Dick, I hope Claire Bu Zard hears your words across time...
Seek knowledge: Be warm and sing: Find solace in nature: Be free.
In other words: Begin Again 🌿

"if your covenant
with water
should ever polarise
into ice,
melt into song"
love this ❤️
Cheeeers Kerry - I felt real good about those lines, and worked hard on them :-) so I really appreciate you singling them out 🖤
Grateful for the brilliant work you do, Dick. 🙏

'like Eve
seek the knowledge
of trees
-
be not adamant
in your understandings
but dormant
-
avoid the cold
and if your covenant
with water
should ever polarise
into ice,
-
melt into song'
