Welcome Back!
I’m thrilled to introduce our first guest post, by Creative Writing for Creative Mothers participant, Amelia Hickman. This beautiful poem was inspired by Week One of the course. Amelia says; ‘It started off as a list poem from lines of lullabies I sing all the time and then morphed into something a bit different.’ I’m sure you’ll agree, it’s morphed into something quite wonderful.
Via Lactea
The moon deep sky
swathes about
her face, dew-soft
rests
eyes flutter
heart against heart
little moth,
once I felt you
quicken
innumerable stars sing
breath soft
lulla, lullaby
satiated you sleep
your dreams
the luminous
wake of a ship
