News that insurance companies are considering refusing to insure houses in flood-prone areas reminded me of “Written Off”, a poem from my 2016 collection New Sea Land. There is no mercy in insurance...

The Good Ancestor

Every day | walk a hundred years
to the hill where my great great granddaughter sits.
| carry words of blessing and reach to touch her back.

But feeling me near she turns sad eyed and heavy with grief
“What was it like?” she asks “when the great whales swam
when the birds sang you awake
when the rains came soft and the soil smelt sweet underfoot?”
And the blessings catch in my throat.

On darker days she turns,
her famished face charred and eyes,
sunk in their bony orbits,
burn with curses.
And the blessings
froth at my mouth
with the poisonous
spume of betrayal.

On the darkest of all days
| walk the hundred years
and find no one there.

Let today be the bright day. Let today be the bright day
I lay my hand upon her back
And, feeling me near, she turns
and blesses me, saying
“Your love was fierce enough,
sweet ancestor,
your love was fierce enough.”

Poem 2019 by British XR activist Daverick Leggett, "For Those Who Rise Today".

#CimateDiary This year's #WorldPoetryDay follows on just one day after the release of the latest #IPCC report, so I thought I might share this poem my 12y daughter wrote in English at school a couple of months ago. Not sharing as a great poem or anything, just because it does express what their generation think and feel (sometimes, in btw endless hours of make up, TikTok, etc etc...) #ClimatePoetry

Time for an #introduction

I’m a former(ish) SFF writer, now poking at #ecopoetry / #climatepoetry / #ecopoetics with a side of #solarpunk and a dash of fantasy. The past few months I’ve been getting into #haiku and #haibun and related forms.

I also complain about my cat.
