    SINGLE POEM

    Date:

    (It’s peaceful here)
    No one asked where she was
    Or how long she would be
    When she drew a bath
    And shaved her legs
    Just above the knee
    In her room was a drawer
    Full of knickers still elastic
    Clean and colour-coded
    Nothing more fantastic!
    After towelling her hair
    And farewelling the moon
    She arranged her six pillows
    Into a spoon
    In the morning she would rise
    In her shower she would pee
    Her mind was content
    But for one hairy knee

    It's hard to find local stories because major news suppliers have economised by cutting local journalism. In addition, social media algorithms mean we have to work doubly hard to be seen.

    If you loved reading this article please consider donating to the Westsider. Support from you gives local writers an outlet and ensures an independent voice can be found in the west.
