A found poem is something that you have read which you think you could turn into a poem. In this case it was an email. I had been copied in and I thought it as I reread it that there was a poem lurking in the cynicism.
Directive
If you could gather some poems
filter down to three max
pick some very different topics
our audience has limited interest
war, mental health and feminism
are all hot topics at the mo
or, maybe one that is,
uniquely Marjons- that could fly!
Marjons is a university where I used to work. My time there provided me with lots of opportunity to write.
Here's Murray Head with his most famous song. He's still touring in France, if you can get to see him. It's well worth it. I saw him in Tours last month.
Until next time.
