A Tale of Midsummer
A short poem I wrote back on the 21st of June during lockdown:
Midsummer’s Eve,
In the strangest of years.
When nightmarish creatures
Became our worst fears.
Threatened by demons,
Who flew through the air,
Locked in our towers
And filled with despair
We trusted our kingdom
To do the right thing
But nervously worried
Of what that might bring.
We missed all the magic
Of friends in hard times,
When sharing a hug became
One of life’s crimes.
We clapped for the Carers,
Our own fairy folk,
Whilst damming the asses,
Who thought it a joke.
Gargoyles and pixies were
Flouting the rules,
As darkness descended
On all of our schools.
What a tale we will tell,
On next Midsummer’s Eve,
Of this time in our lives
We can hardly believe.
