September travel
September Travel
I’ve packed my suitcase ready to go to Norway in
September, extra jumpers, wooly socks and two
bottles of whisky; well, I’m only staying there for
four days, but there might be a war breaking out.
Booze is very expensive in Norway so I can’t go
into bars, but sit in a tiny hotel room drink good
whisky from a glass in the bathroom, the one used
to brush ones teeth in the morning.
I will be walking around in streets where no one
knows me, there will be rain and I have no umbrella,
and I will end up in one of those expensive bars,
just standing there drinking and talking to no one.
I have unpacked my suitcase, and opened one of
the bottles and sit in my favourite chair drinking
a drop, I will not be going back to Norway this year,
the dog is old and can’t be left alone in a kennel,

Good stuff. The prosaic nature of the planning and the cancellation of the planning is finely detailed and is for this reader sufficient to convince that both were ’sound’ actions.
I think the poem would be stronger were going back’ to register in line one though of course this could make such waves as to become a different poem.
Well I can see you publish on this weblog… Is that a weblog by the way.
It’s always nice to read your poems even if I receive them myself.
