Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going

I think I want to paint the shed
perk it up with a nice, bright red.
But then I'll have to do the fence
and that all adds to the expense.
And then I'll have to do the wall
but I can't afford to do it all.
Then there's flowers
those I need.
Pots and soil and yes, seeds.
Painted rocks and veggie box
water feature? Maybe not!
Then I'd like to build a deck,
somewhere nice to take a rest.
Fire pit and pretty lights
plants and seats for summer nights.
I want to screen the dustbins too
the black, the brown, the green and blue
Then I'd like to change the gates,
something strong that will not break.
Maybe I could add some grass,
or is that too much of an ask?
I think I'll leave it after all,
the shed, the fence and the wall.
Leave it 'til I have more money.
Who am I kidding? That's nearly funny.

I think you should let all of your exes sort out the garden (no money needed) and come with me to North Africa (the quiet part) and with long robes and head-scarfs wander and read to each other and write verse. Wine and sunglasses obligatory. I shall of course foot them surfwashedsandy bills. Tommy
