Poetry by Sam Rose

Elveden


lightdrops:

sequential bulbs flashing on and off dangling

from branches electric white snow turns out

the best place to fake it is somewhere it’s all

being faked


cottonfloors:

beneath a cover of comfortable darkness

domed in the forest deserted pathways cosy

gentle hotel lights blackout curtains deep sleeps

quiet nights


spascents:

outdoor pools steaming against cold air new places

to nap new food old favourites noisy days active

days good body vibes cold but not too cold golden

sprinklings of –


skyfire:

over the lake oohs ahhs trees so many trees overfed

squirrels chasing squirrels patrolling peacocks ducks birds

a meandering muntjac on the golf course underneath

the window


tinyflakes:

carried on the wind creating an illusion santa on the roof

the best ways to fake the best place to fake the best way to

feel the festive deal is to first fake the first flake and the rest

becomes real
