A poem a week for 2012 – A record of a year in the life of…

murdered Russian Spies

White Ribbon Protest

Another Red Queen Paradigm

Another cause on which to climb

Another used up; chewed out

Human story; only that.

Selling papers? State secrets?

What’s the difference?

Whose pocket? Whose pay?

Another dirty-dealing day.

Another broken-hearted wife

Struggling through soulless life.

And public figures wield the knife.

Put on Putin power price

No justice and no sacrifice.

The rats in charge; no choice

for us – the poor hard-working

…white mice.

A poem a week for 2012 – A record of a year in the life of…

Olympians....and flag waving

After Korea,
concerns and fears
opening tears?







-Questions fade
Grand parade
Quirky and British





- Not stiff upper lippish - 
Not pompous or stuffy
but inclusive and striking



Celebrating strengths
and forging a future
from links with the past.


Tremendous vision
Audience agasp
A brilliant conception





Fantastic reception
Levelling, inspiring
Intriguing, exciting.


-For this struggling age
A defining stage...
