Poetry by Cherry Doyle: Wild Harvest

Wild Harvest

Cast your nets to the wind, pull in the raven’s scold,
the swallows’ calls rolling away like beads, a shiver of grasshoppers.

Gather up the silk-skirt flick of harebells, 
gold nuggets of August grass, meshed sticklebacks of gorse.

Harvest the dusk-ripened kiss of heather,
the grouse-brown plump of mushrooms, white wedding bells.

Put your hands among the stiff sunset of leaves,
twist off the berries, let the dark juice stain your throat.


Let Mookychick's newsletter Moth flutter to your side...
