On Saturday I read the book reviews
The day feels calm and still, we get up late
I sometimes catch my breath and hear the News
War past War, past War, but not past Hate
I read how civilised is modern man
See the architects’ designs illuminate
See Cathedrals.Synagogues, new plans
Mosques and little Chapels consecrate
Yet offending other Peoples is innate
Like children stealing toys and throwing stones
Through what maze do adults reach that state
Where order,frames and boundaries are known?
Free verse, sonnets,nonsense villanelles
Choose the form and then begin to tell
