2013 04 08 - Now Thatcher's Dead:A Poem

2013 04 08 - Now Thatcher's Dead

We who remain will remember you.
Remember that pointless sacrifice;
The communities that paid the price
To a woman whose heart was cold as ice.

Remember your struggles, so far below.
Remember that news, which came as a blast
When your fate was sealed; when that die was cast.
Now she's gone to a different below, at last.

Remember your lives, and your livelihoods.
Coal, steel and people went hand in glove.
We all came together, when push came to shove.
Now it's you we'll remember, with tears and love.

Samhain and A Creative Weekend

A new post to come here in the morning, once I have had a good night's sleep. Still buzzing over the weekend's unbridled creativity - creating a sestina poem, reciting "Gnothi Seauton" and putting my poem up on the Soundcloud, and possibly having my song sung at a Twelfth Night festival early next year.

I have got plenty to talk about the Wrexham Artists' Network, as well, and the email I sent to its organiser here in town. I hope to hear from that organiser soonish - I enclosed an MP3 of my singing "Gnothi Seauton" in that email.

As I said, a more detailed report to follow in the morning.
