Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 9 is #bones
"...a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool."
T. S. Eliot

When the sea stills,
When the sky sinks - grey, impenetrable
When the hummingbird's wings stutter
When the leaves curl inwards, holding their breath
Let us lie together on the shore and sing the song of the #nudibranch
Watch colour explode anew #vss365

I am new here, so it will take a while to settle in, but from what I have seen, some fab poems and poets supporting each other, which is what I like.
If you have a great poem, please get in touch, if you want to join, famous or newbie, please do. The Poetry Cooperative is meant as a home for all:)
