boomerang ( some ropy verse for a wet wednesday )

…

i am the spell that gave you hope

i cured the pox that got your goat

last boxing day

neath skies of grey

as holly wreathed & ivy moped


i am the mist that brought you cheer

last mischief night i fought your tears

with disarray

i fogged away

then come dawn's yawn - i'd ruddy cleared


i am those notes you sat & wrote

to uncle fuss & auntie dotes

then pancake day

flipped tricks your way

yet now i'm stamped in envelopes


i am that key you lost last year

on whitsun eve i vanished, dear

to where i strayed?

i cannot say

but now i'm back - i've reappeared

...
