Frolic and Detour

Please don’t look too closely,
The slogans, smooth and bland,
A well-rehearsed demand.

Hand picking distractions,
We choose from the display,
So we may look away.

His earthy hands, loam
from the allotment. Produce
never held for long.
Always given as gifts, seeds
of dreams grown into harvest.

We honour days long gone,
when Saul, #knight of Highmourne,
sounded first his ivory horn,
and rode to war under a crimson dawn.

Tales of his deeds returned, not he,
his fate remains deep in mystery.
At dawn we face the North in memory,
hoping to witness his return from the sea.

#Bookcase

Shelves containing all the fables
she could ever hope to write
for every day there's another
with inspirations ever bright
but oh so incredibly fleeting

Chivalry is an open door,
Valour is a medal,
Knights now ride the bus,
Giving up their seats.
The dragons are in power,
Still hoarding gold,
We recite fairy stories,
Fed to us in headlines,
Armour now in labels,
Hashtag at the end of stories.

Tuesday Night at The Shelter

Lea puts down her meager
belongings next to a cot
& looks ‘round at the others
seeking a warming lifeline.

She gets needed food & sleep
under protective eyes of
station staff—some just a few
paydays from needing cots too.
