Annette Aitken Poems

Last Leaf Standing

The rest had left
the tree was bare
...

Who Doesn't Want

Not looking for forgiveness
my soul I pray to keep
...

Feather.

Feather white feather bright
fell from angels wing tonight
...

Just A Little Star

There is nothing special about me
I forget myself sometimes
...

Paper Never Refuses Ink

I'm sat here in the garden armed
with paper and pen
...

Man In The Moon

Come hail or rain or sleet or snow
outside is the place I'll always go
...

Walkie Boots

New walkie boots I bought today
I need to test drive them in some way
...

Reclaiming Sunshine

Behind the Mask
he hides away
...

A Memory Returned


His body maybe in winter
...

Smile She's Here

It was four am the clock chimes
sounds of whispers swooning
...
