A Dying Breed


The Grainger Women Writers will be launching their anthology, created during a series of workshops with myself, at the Lit and Phil on Thursday 11 December, from 7pm.
Here's the title poem to get you to come along:

A Dying Breed


Dark cold mornings,
a steady hum of industry all around.
Everything is grey or black.
No colour. No comfort.
The horn of the ship saluting the day.
The whirr of machinery in the workshops.
Ever increasing traffic bringing the town to life.
Serious, no nonsense, hard work,
until the weekend. Paydays. Playdays.
A dying breed and a dying art.
Redundant silence.
