Nature, she doesn't copyright (WC)

 

(Wendy Cabell, prompt of February 12, 2025, feast day of (above) Our Lady of Iviron and Our Lady of Argenteuil. Composed February 15 (Our Lady of Paris, and the Dalmatian, Vil'na and NiculaIcons of the Mother of God) Image from here.)

Nature, she doesn't copyright

(Can’t say Sun, dear, that’s piracy.)

She’s a copycat, luckily

Refrain for morning’s glory

drums the dew

Star’s splash

owl's evening sweep 

Before writing, heft your satchel —

 

                      Scout for seeds.

*Inspired by Edwin Morgan, who wished to see his unpublished works shared publicly (The Scotsman )

**From prompt: Reflect on this past year's engagement in Daisy Barrett Nash's Legacy Lines (Writers at Play), what stands out? Prompt given February 12, 2025, though piece written later.
