I am delighted to announce that a short poem of mine, buried under a few months of frozen postings, has been published today in the winter edition of the modern, alliterative magazine, Frozen Ground, Regained.
I’d be delighted if you visited the website and sifted through several verses from this season’s publication and consider submitting an alliterative verse of your own for future editions.
I’ve included my creative musings on this publication’s title.
Kind regards,
Katie
Frozen Ground, Regained
We start out gentle, like the rain.
Two hands rubbing together,
playfully clapping,
but before long we're all slaps and bangs.
A thunderstorm of shocking things:
the bitterness of my bereavement,
hardness, and old wedding rings;
the rumble of a disagreement.
"You really make a splash!" you exclaim.
But with one toe in, I'm shivering.
Waiting for the evening's end
to hear the softening showers of spring,
for frozen ground, regained.
