The next few poems were written on a poetry day. The first poem is inspired from R.S.V.P. by Beverley Nadin. The task was to write a list of items that we packed to take on our last retreat, and then include some of them in a poem. This was my attempt 🙂
Three books,
one red, one blue, one black,
Poetry, Dharma and Drama.
A pencil and pen,
backed up with a spare,
(thank God for my Kindle!)
and a brush for my hair.
My potions and pills,
(no nightie with frills)
Just good solid thermals!
Pyjamas and socks
squashed in a bag,
and no need for locks,
as I’m escaping to freedom;
leave humdrum at home.
I’m longing for space,
and a room of one’s own.
