Poetry

My most favourite poem ever is by Mervyn Peake and I just had to use it for this week's challenge. The tag is very plain really, because I didn't want to overshadow the beautiful poem. I just picked two words, which are kind of central to the emotions in this poem, the leveret and the trees, and used these images to emellish the tag with. Other than that, its just handmade paper for the background, a tiny bit of green velvet ric rac and a wisp of gauze.


Just in case you can't read it properly in the photograph, here it is again -

And I thought you beside me

How rare and how desperate

And your eyes were wet

And your face as still

As the body of a leveret

On a tranced hill

But my thought belied me

And you were not there

But only the trees that shook

Only a storm that broke

Through the dark air
