A Fullness in Brevity – Adam Byatt

I set myself a challenge of writing a poem a day during the month of February. A poem on a Post It note.

Each day I’ll post a new poem*.

I have also set up a permanent page on the blog where I will collate all the poems.

You can also follow me on twitter @revhappiness and follow the hashtag #postitnotepoetry

* Results may vary and you can probably expect dog-awful, spleen rupturing, Vogon-inspired poetry. You have been warned.

February 1 – Fear

I emptied my pockets

of all my fears

A handful of stones

dropped into still waters

Lost amongst the darkness

of the depths

But I keep one in my shoe

That I may never forget
