A Yorkshire Poet Poet Free verse

Au Revoir England

There is the fear. There is the stress.
Life now out of kilter, life before this mess.

Where do we stand, how do we call?
In a different land than ‘‘twas afore.

There is the menace of the right fires burning. The horizon dims as the world keeps turning.

The England I knew of my life before, it’s not that England anymore.
