Poems in Tiger, Tiger…

Two tiny poems of mine, ‘Fishes’ and ‘Butterfly’, are republished this month in Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright, An Animal Poem For Every Day of the Year, a new anthology by Nosy Crow.

Here are the words of my two, a cinquain and a haiku respectively:

Fishes

Fishes
Tiny, shiny
Flashing, dashing, diving
Glimpses of ocean mystery
Teasers

(Originally published in The Poetry Store, Hodder Children’s Books)

Butterfly

On wings flake-fragile,
petal-frail, you somehow sail,
mile after long mile.

(Originally published in Let’s Recycle Grandad, A & C Black)
