Night nuance
An acrostic
Denizens of the post-COVID world
It takes loads of balls to inflict
Someone’s distraction from anything in life
They are already withdrawn
Results are as simple as that; they distract me from working on improvement of my little life in
A shell
Creating bonds so easily to break when
The smooth voice cracks in the earpiece, not soothing
It all, just making things worse
Ornate ornery onrush
Never mind, next night will be an encore

Why Just Write Is The Best Advice You Don’t Listen To
Before the last 6 months, I hadn’t written anything that wasn’t for my job or university for a number of years. I wanted to write more, I used to write all the time just for fun. I used to write poems and short stories that were just for me. I used to show them to certain members of my family but it was the process of writing them that I really enjoyed.
