Fresh Start

Yesterday, one heck of a wind

Blowing through those great big

Horse Chestnut and Plane trees

Around The Green, on The Revesby Estate

I should have known a storm was coming


And I did know that the storm was near

As I sat on the park bench in Horncastle

To eat my fish and chips

Well my car is new, so you wouldn’t 

Have me eat them in there, now would you


I had been to see the hygienist in Spilsby

To have my gums checked

Also to have my teeth deep-cleaned

With a powder and warm-water concoction

Which truly did the business


Today it is calmer, warmer

The fierce rains washed away

Whatever had to be washed away

But I’m still here, writing as ever

Trying to find my very own authentic voice
