At this sad time, as we approach Remembrance Day, there is a new fire burning in the world. This poem is about the terrible turmoil that is boiling up currently. It is my wish for peace and stability as soon as can be arranged.
Time to remember
The wars gone by.
To buy a poppy
Ask ‘Why did they all die?’
Time for reflection,
About the world we are in.
That we can stay caring,
So no wars can begin.
But sadly, as we’re hoping
Something tragic has unfurled.
An anger that is tearing
At the middle of our world.
Discomfort and despair
have reared their ugly heads
With people from two places
Removed from their beds.
While I wish
Our nations’ politicians
Would call for peace
And not supply munitions….
I can see
A growing trouble
We need to stop this
On the double.
Final Thoughts
I am a strong believer in dealing with things by talking about them. My poem reflects my wish for peace in the world. Thank you for reading my Terrible Turmoil poem. I would appreciate your thoughts.
For something different to read, perhaps take a look at my Creme Brûlée post.
As it is finally the weekend, I thought it would be fun to write a poem about how it makes me feel. This week has been particularly taxing and so this weekend couldn’t come quickly enough for me.
The trouble with weekends is that they go by too quickly and I spend a lot of time just getting ready for work, cleaning the house and catching up on lost sleep. I dream about the day when I can work two days a week and have a five day weekend. Maybe my blog will one day allow me to do this. I can but hope.
My Poem
You know it’s the weekend
When there is no alarm.
When you wake up whenever
And you feel very calm.
You know it’s the weekend
When you sit in your pants.
Watching Netflix TV shows,
Laughing loud at the bants.
You know it’s the weekend
When the weather turns bad.
After sunshine filled work days,
Rain and wind may seem sad.
You know it’s the weekend
When you prep for the week.
When you wash clothes and iron
Monday morning seems bleak.
In A Nutshell
Sometimes it feels like the weekend is just catching up on jobs time and preparation for the new working week time.
