Dear fellow writers
At our last session we had pictures we were meant to capture in words. Initially my picture reminded me of the catalogue models from our magazines in the 80’s. It was a lady sitting in a grassland in a pose of sorts. After further scrutiny here at home I saw something else and came up with this poem. We ended up working in a group setting so I don’t know if this still works. But here is the homework:
The Lioness
In the dry grass
She sits
Only her body rests
Her eyes are alert
Always watching
Hunting
For her cubs.
Without a crown
Or mane
She sprawls
Ready to nurse
They suck
They play
The princes of the savannah.
I am not sure if we are allowed to write some of our other writing on this blog. But I wrote this in my response to my lockdown blues.
The Busy
Such is the busy!
Criss-cross the rooms.
Seems so easy;
Make the bed,
Pull, tuck and fluff.
Hardly tough!
The first task of the day.
Feed the busy.
Please nothing cheesy.
May be jam and ham
On a slice of egg.
But with insomnia later,
Oh some french-toast sog
When no longer a banter.
Work the busy!
In that sunny home office.
Follow the paper trail,
From the in-tray
To the day-bed.
Ah the lockdown days
An exit-less maze.
