POEM FOR NATIONAL POETRY DAY 2020

 A SMALL FAVOUR


Consider the poet. 

Her mind doesn’t work

quite the same as normal people. 

Standing under the shower

she tries to catch metaphors

in the molten droplets. 

As she stares out of the train window

the horizon to her 

is a lilting string of words. 

Needless to say

she doesn’t do this for the money,

but just like everyone else

stanzas alone won’t fill her belly. 

Just a small sum

will help purchase her latest book.

A slightly bigger contribution

will enable a short visit

to your school or institution.

Dig a little deeper and

she could even be yours to keep.

For remember:

a poet is for life,

not just for National Poetry Day.
