Friday Poetry: Rachel Rooney

Happy Friday Everyone!

What is everyone reading this weekend? I am hoping to finish The Taxidermist’s Daughter by Kate Mosse. I haven’t been able to put it down so far so I don’t think it will be a problem.

My chosen poem today is by the award winning children’s author and poet Rachel Rooney (1962).

Seeker

Eyes as wide as continents brim with water between.
Seeks a different future. Looks back on what has been.

Mouth seeks another language. Shapes a different air. 
Unfamiliar classroom words. The other, whispered prayer. 

Heart seeks home. One it left and one it took along. 
Echoes in the distance. Skips to a playground song. 

Rachel Rooney
