micro poems

A selection of short works, written intuitively, little revelations jotted on the spot, on the go, by way of wonderings.

poetry .
These Micro Poems focus acutely on the way a word or phrase sounds, sequences and syllables which feel like they could be proverbs, aphorisms or sayings. Second, it’s about the way a word looks, the visual shape of the sound; language that speaks bluntly to our intuition and gut instinct.

caution caution
spit nails
lamplight
paper plane
lost again
wrongdoings
flick
misty fiend
metallic maybes
anyway
all the kisses I gave you
seething
clipped wings
sting of lemon
oily dermis
sad tonight
and freckles too
