Day 819 of the Daily Poems and definitely the moment for some spring cleaning, with our poet Colin Hopkirk …
Spring cleaning
How about a clear out
scour the shelves, cull a few
the ones that looked interesting
but weren’t
others someone said
would do you good
those you said you loved
wanted to be seen with
wanted sixth-form girls to see
Camus and Genet
Conrad, Hemingway?
Colin Hopkirk
