Disproportionate

noise of lovemaking foxes

upsetting the dog

Curb your impatience

let the dog see the rabbit

slow down a minute

Bart did it

Today I was told

about Bart Simpson’s Haiku

not seen it before…

I didn’t do it

nobody saw me do it

can’t prove anything

The first signs of spring

would normally bring me joy

this is different

From a standing start

So little has changed

since last I visited here

a great deal has changed

Unwelcome

Shame of a nation

where process trumps compassion

you are not welcome

* I am utterly disgusted by and ashamed of our government and the disgraceful way they have conducted themselves with the visa system for Ukrainian refugees. As a UK citizen I feel tarnished with their appalling indifference and lack of urgency for a European crisis. They do not speak for me or reflect my views.

Brexit was meant to free us from bureaucratic processes and allow us to be fleet of foot. Hah! Just like everything else to do with Brexit, it is a myth. The conservatives are playing to the nationalist sentiment in their party and voters, who don’t want any kind of immigration. It is disgusting. The sooner we have a more compassionate and honest government the better.

I am so ashamed to be British.

An old lady speaks

telling stories of her life

we sit and listen
