EU Autumn 

.

Torn from slumber, green

leaves not ready to detach

fight on to remain.

Unexpected

 

All was calm and still

when thunderbolts came crashing

to disrupt our life.

Hope fading

 

The elves are leaving

Middle Earth never to come

back; my sad heart weeps.

Between my finger and my thumb

I can’t dig with my

pen as Seamus does with his.

I’ll dig potatoes.

Inspired by Seamus Heaney’s beautiful poem ‘Digging’ which I read as a child. I love the metaphor. I love the poem.
