A Preoccupation

The United Kingdom – which direction?
Is there any detection
Of a slight hesitation
As all this political diction
Is becoming an addiction
HardBrexit, a continual affixation
A convulsive sensation
A preoccupation
A bloggers’ fixation
Journalists’ devoration
No time for devocation
Unable to form an illation
Or a resolute speculation
Submitting to trepidation
For our Nation
There is no sedation 
To the daily news digestion
Just a torrent of unanswered questions
And a snap General Election

I love the lines: "There is no sedation To the daily news digestion". A great piece Anne-Lise on the onslaught of information yet is any truth and problem solving being conveyed with 'real answers'. Excellent writing on a topical subject. lynnxxx

I'm in the U.S. but I heard about the "surprise" election coming up. Your poem was well crafted. I enjoyed reading this today.
