Lyn's July Post

Lost


Everything about her lost
in this deep pool shadowed by cliffs
where the wind skims, rippling green.

Nothing above me now she is gone.
Grey clouds can’t touch her.

The water widens and the granite sings
to one small bird oblivious, dipping.



Lyn Browne, Dartmoor

Lyn, Do you know the music of Ronan Keating? One of his songs (and one of my favourites) has the line - 'You say it all, when you say nothing at all.'

I think your poetry has this quality. It's not so much in what you say, but what you don't say, allowing the readers to fill the gaps for themselves, which makes the poetry very personal.

A rare skill indeed!
