depictions by the rule of thirds; descriptions mostly freestyle words
Dithering in ether
ceasing disbelief, the stone
of logic rolls aside
our broken grasp gives faith
a flying chance as artist
split-timed trapeze
decrees no second
fall, no safety net
on singing wings, the skylark’s
risen faithfully to blend
again with heaven – we take
communion and wait
Title taken from Ted Hughes’ poem: Skylarks
Joining De’s quadrille with paschal prompt: Rise – and also planting this in the Imaginary Garden’s Tuesday Platform

compounds a hang on from the recent Poetics and very useful too when word count at a premium 😉
