I was going through some of my old poetry and thought i’d post a few today……
Landmines
down the steps
out into the sunshine
into the chemical mist
unexpected, deadly, unseen
taking with it
a life once fully lived
the landscape forever changed
the world no longer

with days spent
dodging chemical landmines
and the stupidity

Road Rage
Terminally nice,
perpetually kind
some mistook her
for a door mat

For the love of the earth, she dug deeper
