Poetry Friday 1

For the next couple of weeks, Friday will be poetry day.

Pointless is an afternoon quiz show on the BBC, shown every night Monday to Friday. 


Pointless
When the highlight of your day 
is pointless,

The pointlessness of your day  
is highlighted.

This is a poetry version of one of my stories 

The Square
Sweaty bodies
Too hot for passion
lay lifeless on damp sheets.
Below
shadows stretch lazily
Empty tables
attract flies.
A thousand hangovers
Crammed inside my
head.

An uncertain future following Brexit, some political angst. 

Future
Lucid
visions of the future that
I thought had been consigned to the past.
Looking backwards
whilst moving forwards
The sky hints at
summer's gone
But the the wind foretells
the winters ahead.
