Absent.
Funnily enough, we were absent a few poems this week! We did hear some poems during the session, one of which was absent of the word absent, yet well inferred.
Only one on display for this week, hope you enjoy it.
Next week’s word is ‘forage’. You can just drop in and enjoy or if you’d like to write a poem, you can! Visit the events calendar on this site, for the zoom link to join us.
Hope to see you there

Take Me Away
I no longerÂ
Want to stay
Caught in the chaseÂ
As though its a race
In psychological games
That label and blame
Stuck in my mindÂ
With no answers to findÂ
With no sense of care
And kindness that’s rareÂ
Using tech as a ‘stage’Â
To gain and enrageÂ
Or a sensor alarmÂ
To protect me from harmÂ
Instead…Â
I choose to absent myself
And leave the shelfÂ
Blank and clearÂ
To follow what is dearÂ
Without the fearÂ
That got me here…Â
