A Homphonic Take on These Very Grey Days
They last couple of weeks in Newcastle it seems there has been bo sun. I saw the sun in Edinburgh , Thirsk and Whitby but here it seems just grey
So this is a poem taking a cue from Madness and a homophonic title , a few lines of poetry.
☁️🌨️☁️🌨️☁️🌨️☁️🌨️☁️🌨️☁️🌨️
I leave the house for a walk
The sky is dark as I start
I am alone, I don’t talk
I've love and hope in my heart
☁️🌨️
The sky is clouded over
The darkness does fade away
But there is no sunshine here
Slightly lighter shades of grey
☁️🌨️
The minutes and hours tick by
Slowly counting through my day
Above me just uniform cloud
Hardly changing shades of grey
☁️🌨️
But I've my own sunshine
Right here in my loving heart
Keeping my spirit in line
My love is not ever dark
☁️🌨️
Standing under my heaven
I know the grey will soon go
Sunshine will be in my life
Brightness and Love soon will flow
☁️🌨️☁️🌨️☁️🌨️☁️🌨️☁️🌨️☁️🌨️

Disarmament
They say there's no atheism in the foxhole. While I wasn't currently neck-deep in a river of soft sediment, I was still praying to whoever would listen. Why am I doing this again? I would ponder while staring at the device that in no less than a minute could be my undoing. I scanned each and every variable panel and commonplace button as I watched the bright red L.E.D ticker countdown. No wires to cut, no code to put in, there was only one way to stop this infernal machine, and that incurred perfect timing.
