just bark today
look really close
this bread knife being
notchy serrations
fissures persisting
bent lines of sightings
cry for the butterfly
all dewy beauty
one day’s flutter
yesterday a crease
hardwood ungrowing
in veranda surroundings
breathing a quietude
not always visible
but here ever present

Thanks Peter. I have a garden full of them; still they take me by surprise, so well disguised.

Love the tone of this one, Jim – the last three lines make for a fine rounding off. I think many of my favourite JW poems are those where the words are given a particular verse paragraph/stanza structure, incidentally.

They just come out that way at times. I don’t do any style/method in a determination. I don’t think I do, but who knows?
