Poem in Flare, issue 27

I am delighted to say that a poem of mine, called 'Dream Pathways,' was published in Flare, the occasional broadsheet of The Sunflower Sessions open mic. Thanks to Éamon Mag Uidhir for accepting the poem. You can read the poem below.

Dream Pathways

Like the claw of the crow

three paths split off from each other.

A ship on the seas, champagne,

shirtless men for adventure,

the sun tanning the landscape.

A way of grey stones,

willow trees in fog,

grass with streams bursting forth.

A road filled with boulders

potholes and mud.

A black horse came to me

neighing, stamping the ground,

it’s dark eye bulging.

I stood, compass in my hand,

noticed a rose on a bush opening slowly,

offering petals to the sun

and accepting the rain when it comes.
