Charnwood Grove organised and ran a number of creative writing sessions via zoom during the Covid lockdown period, each session chose a specific subject and using some key inspirational words, the participants crafted these magnificent creations.
Session 9- Chaos
Equinox – Chaos/Balance
Descent into chaos, we’re already there
With Covid and Brexit, I really despair
Of ever returning to Equinox balance.
I’ll bury myself under duvet, and valance!
I’ll bury myself in those feathers so deep
And I’ll pray to great Morpheus, “Send me to sleep.”
There in that soft cave I’ll just hibernate.
I’ll stay there for ages in that dormant state.
And when I awaken, the chaos all gone,
I’ll hope that the Covid and Brexit’s moved on.
If not, then I’ll stay in that world in between
And try to keep sane ‘til they find a vaccine.
Will this chaos result in a world disunited,
The union of Britain be completely blighted?
Or will there be balance and true harmony,
A world for the future, with stability?
Chaos
These summer days are nearly done,
this summer equalling none.
July’s fireweed flourished
vibrant purple
burning on the greens and browns,
and sulphur-yellows, pink and white,
of ragwort, yarrow, green leaved dock.
August branches arched their way;
while blackberries blooming
came and went,
then withered, tinder dry.
And now, September-poised
we pause.
We do not know which way to go
Or how long this might last.
