Leaves changing

Into autumn colours

Swallows flying south

I am goning to attempt a series of daily Haiku for the month of october.

Pumpkin

Carved toothed grin.

Back lit candles glowing

Who ate my insides?

The wo, wo, world has gone crazy

For cobblestones and tea bags

Emptying petrol stations of fuel

Half full of idiots

From somewhere up north

And anyplace down south

Emptying the shelves of tea bags

And the pumps off diesel

Driving the madness over the cobblestones for fun

I respond to the media fed fear.

As the media feeds the panic buyers more gobbledygook

with this little ditty.

I thought i would share this with you tonight dear #dverse poets. the first draft did not contain any reference to the fuel madness that has struck England this last week. The media coverage which caused the panic at the fuel pumps reeminded me of the start of the pandemic when the same panic happend with toilet paper and tea bags. I have not shared the first draft any where but thought it was about time this poem had an airing. just releasing a bit of het up frustration with the way things are being handled.
