A Lizard’s Song / Poem

August 28, 2022December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

A Lizard’s Song (written by Sarah Bennett) I was walking home from the shops, a single bag tucked under my arm.

The sun came … Continue reading A Lizard’s Song / Poem

Gold / Poem

August 24, 2022December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Gold (written by Sarah Bennett) Our jeans are covered in grass stains from a day of rolling down hills, Ripped on the fence we climbed over To escape the terror you created in your own mind.

Harbour / Poem

July 31, 2022January 29, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Harbour (written by Sarah Bennett) That conversation, A passing delight, Was perhaps the final one – The last of our joy. The end met us, As we walked to the harbour, At which we never again set sail. I created this as a blackout poem a number of years ago and thought it was time … Continue reading Harbour / Poem

Changing / Poem

July 26, 2022December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

I was going to share my July reads, but truth be told I finished one book this month and it was Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. Yes, the children’s book. I hadn’t written any poems for a while, until yesterday. It feels good to be writing them again. I know I often … Continue reading Changing / Poem

Love (written by Sarah Bennett) In which a flower declares love for the sun. You watched me bloom Saw more than anyone else. Delicately You gave more than most.

Tea / Poem

October 23, 2021December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Tea (written by Sarah Bennett) Tea doesn't solve problems, But keeps them at bay. Have a cup in early morning, Don't face the coming day. An old little favourite! Have a beautiful day, Sarah xx

Sunrise / Poem

September 28, 2021December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Sunrise (written by Sarah Bennett) the day was golden / if a bit insecure / the sky was hopeful of the dawn to follow / when no light was left / the rain bled through the cracks in the stars / we thirsted no more / our dreams became the new day / expectant / … Continue reading Sunrise / Poem

Letter (written by Sarah Bennett) I wrote a letter to the person I used to be / placed it in a postbox without a return address / it turned up at my front door a few days later / I always thought I could be separate people / that I could pretend the girl I … Continue reading Letter / Poem
