I have had an idea
For when I return home
I have named it
Wednesday Afternoon Being Creative
It’s a sort of going back
But also a fast forwards
Yes it is to stimulate the creation of poetry
But also, art and photography, etcetera, etcetera
To try to pull together
A few of the creative types
From roundabouts and hereabouts
Who can encourage others to be creative
I don’t expect Anish Kapoor
Or James Turrell or Richard Long
Or any of those other major artists
Whose work can be seen at Houghton Hall
But maybe the local musicians
And poets and painters
And trekkers and photographers
Will come along to tell a tale
We too may think of specific spaces
Where our art may be displayed
Although of course that must wait
Until we are freed from lockdown
