National Poetry Day Poem
In the run up to National Poetry Day, I will be posting some poems about its theme, Light!
.
Enlightenment
.
This word is in a dancer’s spring;
paper aeroplanes in flight;
water spraying rainbows;
an understanding within sight;
a feather floating, slowly;
it is needed in the night.
In a field of swaying sunshine
each buttercup holds it – light!
.

If you would like to read more poems about light, here is a link to a page full of them on the Forward Arts Foundation website.
