I'm off to Warwick Folk Festival this weekend. I'm reading and running a poetry workshop.
So one poem in progress.
CBT wk2
emotion
swells
the
surge forward of panic and despair
that
washes over us all
then feeds back
over the hesitant facilitator
she's
one week ahead of us in the manual
she
consults her ill prepared hand scrawled notes
and
plucks an image from the air
reflecting
on this I have to question
and
so take my place as the wind bag
therapy
by numbers
ask
myself why I am here again
there
is one thing I am certain of these people deserve better
ship
wrecked we cling to the tables
in
the hope that the hesitant words may hold the secret

I leave you with Alela Diane singing Lost Land.
Hi Paul! I hope you have a wonderful time at the festival. I love this parting poem (in progress). Best wishes.

DeleteGood to hear from you. The festival was fun. Though it did rain rather a lot- I think we may have had our summer here. Still can't complain. I'm appearing at Farmfest this weekend. Glad you like the work in progress. I need to leave it for a while so as to get a new perspective.
