Thanks

 I want to thank everyone who has been looking into these pages. It helps

greatly to know that my poetry interests you. I'm currently collating some

of my work for a chapbook or larger collection. So we'll see how that

goes in 2025. Thanks again for reading me. William

August and September

 Reviewing photos from summers past. Especially like this one from Buncrana, Ireland.

summer heats up the shallows

  summer heats up the shallows*

still dew in the grass
catalpa leaf in sunwash
summer heats up the shallows
warms the deep water as we cross
toes feeling carefully
for each cool stone

Variety and social media

Just a brief note to thank people for continuing to look into the texts I post here. It means a lot to me to know of your interest. Many will know already that I also have a presence on commercial social media apps where I'm also locatable as William Bain Poetry. Some of these apps are undergoing changes I and many other users don't like, and on that theme I merely want to say that I am currently looking further afield at different platforms. Also, finally, I am still very pleased to be a member of the Blogspot Community. And again, thanks for your support.

Peaceful hopes

 A picture taken some years back: The town of Derry, Ireland, from the Peace Bridge. Hoping, of course, for more peaceful scenes all over our beleaguered planet....
