10th May Sappho and WHAT

 

May 10th  Sappho

 

Sappho lost in a sea

Of cow parsley.

Holding her hand for all to see,

Reaching out.

Her poetry is all forgotten.

Her fame in Greek days of old

Is not.

And today she still remains

An emblem of feminine campaigns.

 

 

WHAT by another name

 

WHAT is no more.

But 7 carry on under a different banner

Still very much in a similar manner,

As friends.

Who sing.

 

And meet up to rehearse

Sharing song and verse.

And tea and cakes

Wine and whinge.

About age and frailty

About the past and of today.

And, hey, long may it last that way.
