Thunder in the night
a split second world is lit
The soft rush of rain
When it is too hot to sleep
distraction takes many forms

Politics no more
Machiavelli is dead
caught out with pants down
The mantle falls at our feet
we must grasp it to do good

Brexit this and that
whatever your take on it –
What a distraction
with all the shenanigans
something gives behind the scenes

A few summer weeks
Punters head for crowded coasts
Overindulgence!
The sun, sea and sand play games
Make September quite daunting

Tanka: Game of Cards

So play your Trump Card
whether to praise or condemn
Take a look askance
beyond so called left and right
The joker always remains
