WOMEN RULE WRITER: Tiny Poem for the-day-that's-innit

Sunday, 8 May 2011

As per my previous post, today is Write-a-Tiny-Poem Day. Herewith one inspired by my recent trip to New York.

Padlocklove

Along the Brooklyn Bridge

there are love locks

whose keys lie in the river silt.

Here all love is secure.

It started in Italy, inspired by the movie of a novel. So, a proper literary tradition!
