Imbole & Poetry Day

2nd February - poetry day

Here's my own contribution:

Naughty chocolate
.
Forbidden chocolates.
Such melting, sweet delights
Are worth regrets!
.
.
And here's a great poem by Mary Oliver:
Why I Wake early
Hello, sun in my face.
Hello , you who makethe morning
and spread it over the fields
and into the faces of the tulips
and the nodding morning glories,
and into the window of, even, the
miserable and the crotchety -
.
best preacher that ever was,
dear star, that just happens
to be where you are in the universe
to keep us from ever-darkness,
to ease us with warm touching,
to hold us in the great hands of light -
good morning, good morning, good morning.
.
Watch, now, how I start the day
in happiness, in happiness.
.
.
Happy Imbolc to everyone.
