SUE LEWIS is a lyric poet from South London. Her poems and haiku explore the texture of our lives, revealing things which are often left unsaid.
Everything now is
stained with hope,
the juice of possibility.
Ripe pomegranate blush.
New mornings open
while we hold our breath;
vermilion on our far horizon.
Even rain delights me now:
soft amber jazz percussion.
How do I live with all this
sudden brilliance?
I stay awake all night,
longing for the salt;
the everyday enchantment.
— ‘Pomegranate’ from Journey
