I understand my friend
It’s sad to hear
But Even melancholic
Moments of poetic prose
Would be better than politics
And arguing
and division into friends and foes
‘Bring back the poems’
I scream and I shout
Please let us be creative
To let our feelings out!
🤍🙏

So my final stack for #TheSealeyChallenge I got to 23 rather than 31 but given the number of collections & a few languages scattered through I'm more than happy. Some excellent writers discovered & the realisation there are loads of pockets of time in my day for #MorePoems #SealeyChallenge #Booksky
Phantom Bite
Something bit me. I hope it’s a mosquito.
Or maybe the sting’s just in my head.
A phantom itch, a jolt incognito,
Tiny echoes of bothers, long since fled.
Either way, I’m itchy. I want to be in bed.
