The lonely Journey
The grass is greener on the other side
Keep going
Don’t give up
The journey may seem far
The aerial view
Reminds me of the war in Ukraine
The line of trucks for the Russians
Trying to invade maripoul
The journey seemed lonely
But the Ukrainians hung in
Stayed in Lane
Help came from far and wide
The lonely journey arrives at the destination
The greens to overcome
The attention and focus
Required for the Poetry marathon
It may seem a lonely journey
But we are working towards a common goal
As part of the poetry marathon
Hour 22

The umbrella
the pride colours
unity of sexuality
brings people together
irrespective of race
used on charity walks
Can’t do without one on a rainy day
