Just Add Light
What colour is gold that does not shine ?
Is it brown, is it yellow, or beige ?
Would silver be thought as quite so fine
If its greys glittered less with age ?
Diamonds have no colour or soul
Without their glint of a spark,
And jet is nothing but a lump of coal
If it’s only worn in the dark.

Here and there. I’ve had a few in Snakeskin & Lighten Up Online over the years, and in Blue Unicorn earlier this year. But I’m not the most proactive at sending them out.

Very cool. Just let us know if you ever put together your own book, I wouldn’t mind adding it to my shelf. 😊

I’ve actually got detailed plans on how I’d like it to look – preferably 12 inches square, looking like the lyrics sheet from a classic album, with plenty of pencil sketches in amongst the poems.
