Watermaid (ii) By Christopher Okigbo



'...So brief her presence-,
match-flare in wind's breath-
so brief with mirrors around me.

Downward...
the waves distil her:
gold crop
sinking ungathered.'

    I love the idea of your poetry collection being about different Queens :) will take a browse around your blog. Martha

    Sorry for late reply to your comment, I have been writing so much in real life, the blog has been neglected slightly. The good news is the Queen poetry book is finished, which is very exciting!
