On Distant Shores | Poem
A travel adventure
Apr 4, 2026 · 1 min read

Welcome to April.
This month I will be posting poems weekly that didn’t make into any of my books, generally because they didn’t pass muster. Now you have a chance to give them a new life.
This poem, On Distant Shores, can be viewed as complete nonsense or as a metaphor for something else. You get to decide what.
I’m always interested in what readers think of my poems, especially these not-quite rejects, so if you’ve got an opinion, I’d love to hear it.
In case you missed it
