Leave me the night at Whispers and Echoes

Posted on 2025-09-17 by Bartholomew Barker

I’m proud to announce that one of my old previously unpublished poems has been posted to Whispers and Echoes. Thank you, Sammi!

The first version of Leave me the night was written as part of my 2012 April Poem-a-Day Challenge, before I’d even established this website. It’s another astronomical poem so I hope you’ll take a look.
