July's poem is 'On a crowded bus' by Gillian P
July's Poem of the Month is our shortest so far ... a four-line poem, 'On a crowded bus,' by Gillian P. Fellow poets have praised it for its clarity, brevity, and for encapsulating " the sense of isolation of modern life". It has also been likened to another, famously short poem ... 'The Red Wheelbarrow', by Wiliam Carlos Williams. Gillian P's profile says simply: "I write what I feel in a way that feels right."
