Absent- poetic expression

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 longer 
Want to stay

Caught in the chase 
As though its a race

In psychological games
That label and blame

Stuck in my mind 
With no answers to find 

With no sense of care
And kindness that’s rare 

Using tech as a ‘stage’ 
To gain and enrage 

Or a sensor alarm 
To protect me from harm 

Instead… 
I choose to absent myself
And leave the shelf 
Blank and clear 
To follow what is dear 
Without the fear 
That got me here…
