When the whole world measured time in light and dark, descent and climb, civilisation was still new my child, an infant just like you. One drab June, we wandered ancient grounds, round rain-soaked prehistoric mounds, counting a nursery rhyme of stones. We imagined thousands of dawns and shadows pierced by shafts of light – the […]

Weighing Time
We’re soothed by steady ticks and tocks of our old clock, gently knocking, rarely stopping to balance up the weight of time; unclogged by grime, fine polished gears count up the years. We put trust in its staring face, its plodding pace, its simple chime as it calls time. Kim M. Russell, 2017 Image found […]
Weight
In the vacuum of space, no clocks tick, there’s no watch to check if you are late, no hands to blur the flow of time. Comets crash, stars burn, all the while planets turn and scientists no longer wind: they measure with quiet quantum mechanics, atomic clocks and relativity, warping time with precision while we […]

Waiting for No One
They say time waits for no one, moving on, a tractor along a furrow, turning dark soil like broken chocolate into tomorrow, rattling through the season. We, like seagulls, follow, grey-headed envoys in the air, cursing the changing atmosphere. Kim M.

In Glaze of Dusk
My response to dVerse Poets Pub 5 Year celebration Part 4, Catching up with Samuel Peralta Björn has interviewed Samuel Peralta. I enjoyed his poem, ‘N. poeticus’, which has made me a little nervous about my own post this evening. What I have taken from the interview is Sam’s advice to ‘write from the heart, but […]
Passing Time
Edged with ragged weeds and sedge, The river snakes noisily around a bend Into damp darkness of an ancient bridge, Slipping like time over mud and sand. Further down, a fisherman stands in the stream, Casting for fish in his waders and vest, Dreaming of a supper of trout or bream As slate grey clouds […]
The Wheels of Time – a Rondel
My response to dVerse Poets Meeting the Bar; the Rondel, has turned into an eco poem, inspired by a photograph I took on the way to a local beach. The wheels of time turn, Leaving behind worn out tyres To rot, moulder and expire By a roadside or on a pile to burn. When […]
