Words and the world passing by; how it sings to me; how I clamour back.

Daytime
Posted on June 28, 2020 by mabhsavage
I go to bed in daytime now The night is so passé The songbirds are my lullaby The sunrise lights my way To sleep, perchance to dream, I hope Though not of recent times Of angst and shopping trips gone mad Of social distance… Continue Reading “Daytime”

Posted on April 30, 2020 by mabhsavage
It almost seems Pathetic To complain When we have a roof A house Money coming in- less, mind So much less And no help from on high Thanks to creeping criteria And tape not so much red As blue-blood coloured Fuck the Tories Fuck… Continue Reading “NaPoWriMo Day 21: Lockdown Blues”

NaPoWriMo Day Thirteen: Only in Dreams
Posted on April 18, 2020 by mabhsavage
Only in dreams do I feel The success of nostalgia The culmination of that homesickness For that place I’ve never been At least not in this life Or with this body Or maybe with this soul I don’t pretend to know How it all… Continue Reading “NaPoWriMo Day Thirteen: Only in Dreams”

Help is Not on the Horizon
Posted on April 1, 2020 by mabhsavage
It was my birthday yesterday. I ended the day by having a big cry. I was a bit in my cups, to be fair, but this morning I sat and analysed why I was feeling so low. It’s not the isolation. I can cope… Continue Reading “Help is Not on the Horizon”

Home Schooling Hope
Posted on March 30, 2020 by mabhsavage
Today wasn’t quite as I expected it to be. I thought we’d all get up early, get breakfast, burn some calories with Joe Wicks then settle down to some Purple Mash or fractions and be done by early afternoon. Instead, everyone slept in. However,… Continue Reading “Home Schooling Hope”

Writing for Change
Posted on March 27, 2020 by mabhsavage
Covid-19 U.K. lockdown day 4, self isolation day 7, social distancing day 11; I think. Starting to lose track now! This blog post is slightly self-indulgent, but I think we all deserve a little self-indulgence from time to time! I’ve been going through my… Continue Reading “Writing for Change”

COVID-19 So Far
Posted on March 25, 2020 by mabhsavage
I’ve been meaning to keep a bit of a journal because in years to come, I’ll want to look back and remember what was going on now. If I don’t write it down, the anxiety and constant dealing with stuff will wash away the… Continue Reading “COVID-19 So Far”
