A year's worth of poems, every week for 52 weeks, spanning 2023 and 2024, plus the year following, from August 2024 to August 2025.(provided I live that long, of course).
Thank you, Allan Charles. I've contested the Charlie Chaplin thing a couple of times, won once, if I remember correctly. But it's the kind of thing I try when bored and have nothing better to do - just doesn't seem to have happened lately.
Golden glory a furnace in the sky
the sun sets in molten incandescence
its blazing liquid ore radiant in flow
across the sky aflame as burning light
the red hot land and coal dark trees
in fury’s fires ablaze with sullen wrath
while still the silent waters reflect in rose
a dream of petal paint and power in pink
here the bamboo bridge in blackened shade
breaks the bond of bank and stream
and night climbs stealthy with inky cloak
to draw its veiled hand upon the dying day.
