Peace from the Sirens

by Andy N

(Wrote the other week in a zoom poetry reading after hearing a Indian Poet describe about how they are constantly hearing ambulances going past their home with ill people from pandemic. I aimed for a haiku with this but the poem decided otherwise and it became a closeish Haiku instead)

 

 

No Ambulances

you long for peace

from the sirens

slowed down to silence
at midnight in the forest
even the birds sleep

A short study

by Andy N

studying her quiet face asleep,

NB. I think this is a haiku but as I am rubbish at counting the whatever's for it, I
am just gonna call this a short poem.
