It seems
You didn't
Like the way
He read the
News for us
That's why
You took him
Away from us
(addressed
to God, this poem is dedicated to all the news bulletins given to us by
George Alagiah who's now battling Bowel Cancer. He's one of my
favourite news readers on BBC. My best wishes are always with him for a
full and speedy recovery.)
Seeing
Seeing
The
Bleak
Ending
That
Life has
Who
Would
Want to
Make
Every day
A new
Beginning?
(my thoughts on seeing Shashi Kapoor's wheelchair photo at age 76)
