She said nothing

The sunflower has long been a symbol of devotion, resilience, and courage. Admired for its unwavering orientation towards the sun, it has come to represent optimism, purpose, and steadfastness. Yet the same light that nurtures can also overwhelm.

Nature rarely speaks in absolutes. Perhaps the lesson is not to turn away from what gives us life, but to recognise that growth asks us to embrace both nourishment and vulnerability.

NaPoWriMo 2025 – Day 30

April Poetry Writing Month – Day 30

On the final day of April Poetry Writing Month 2025, I reflect on the experience of writing poetry for 30 days – using stream of consciousness, a literary technique masterfully employed by Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), a leading modernist author of the 20th Century.

This style allows thoughts to flow freely, unfiltered and spontaneous, capturing the inner workings of the mind in a realistic way.

Thank you (all) for pausing, reading, and supporting these poems throughout the journey.
