By Philippa Drake
In the miasma mists
of an autumn dawn
a matchstick sailing boat
loosed of frayed twine
snakes toward rolling hills
that guide greyed souls
stolen by synthetic powers
of battery controlled radar
and crimson ghostly appearings
that haunt the darkling stars
murmuring their strangled melodies
in a rusty wood.
Author Bio:
I am an author of 18 poetry books and I have won two writing awards. Several months ago I received the Emily Dickinson trophy for Mystic Meanderings, published by BookLeaf Publishing. https://ebooks.bookleafpub.com/product-page/mystic-meanderings. I also won first prize in the poetry section of the Anderida Writers Short story/poetry competition and was presented with the Gearing Trophy for my entry ‘Be happy and meowful.’
