Mood
written by: Glo Curl
Of all the things to lift my mood
besides some sweet and sticky food
and birds that flutter closely by
to watch me with a beady eye
distributing another lot
of suet in the usual spot
or snowdrops tucked beside an oak
in woodland shedding winter’s cloak—
the springtime warmth upon my face
and bumble bees’ determined race
in search of sweet and sticky food
are guaranteed to lift my mood
Glo writes formal poetry and flash, enjoying the discipline of the former and brevity of the latter. Her subject matter varies from humorous to dark, fiction and real life. Writing is a challenge, a pleasure and a great way to fill the hours. Her verse has been published in Lightenup-online, The Poet Magazine, Little Old Lady Comedy, Better Than Starbucks Haiku anthology and other places. Her flash fiction has found a home at Secret Attic, Thewrite-in, and Friday Flash Fiction. Glo writes for her own fulfilment; if someone else likes it, all the better. She is still adding stuff to her website: The Old Fashioned Poet.
