“Fey” Is This Week’s Feature Poem on the Tuesday Poem Hub
Today’s editor on the Tuesday Poem Hub is Wellington poet and writer Alicia Ponder—and I am very honoured that Alicia has selected Fey as the feature poem on the Hub today.

And because Fey was written as part of a sequence of poems I thought I’d re-post one of its companions, backwards, as my Tuesday Poem today:
backwards
tomorrow
I will throw burned toast
to birds that flutter down
from the dying tree
in one corner
of the yard
blackbird
flying backwards
as I step widdershins
around the old house
with its sagging porch
& broke-back roof
shade my eyes
toward the smudge
of hills—storm brewing
along the tops

Oh I like the images in this short poem very much indeed, esp the broke-back roof and sagging porch.
Michelle–am glad you enjoyed! 🙂
