Jonathan ROBIN (22 September / London)

Some simple seem, serenity
Often slips between their fingers,
Unfortunate, their left reach lingers
Till slip dream's opportunity.
Hope springs eternal, yet they see
Perpetual challenge, count the cost.
Alas short shrift life shares: keys lost,
West gone SOUTH fragility.
Put down by up right pitch some flee
As right wing blindness shows its strength,
Would one not go to any length
SO they gain credibility?
Unfortunate that prejudice
THeir gifts dismiss, remiss miss bliss.
