FOUND POEM


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.

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,

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.
