Said A to B
I don't like C
He always
Stands away
From me
Said D to E,F and G
Lets sit down and
Have some Tea
H turned to I
And said
Hi
J and K said what a day
I think we should go out to play
L, M,N and O
Went out to a show
Q Qued up, but didn't get in
But instead R,S and T
Took Q on a trip
To the Sea
While
U,V,W,X,Y and Z
Spent the day ill in bed

'Write about the flowers,' she said
All colourful and pretty
'Write anything that comes to mind,
Profound, simple or witty.'
But I'm neuro-divergent
I fidget quite a lot
While others talk about the flowers
I'm looking at the pot
The petals vibrant as the sun
She sparkles with delight
'Just write down anything you feel.'
The pot is white
The stems are long and leafy
The flowers scent the air
'Everything is valid here.'
The pot of square
I'd like to write about the flowers
Describe them if I could
But my head wonders to the base
The pot is made of wood.

I come to the forest
where the poets went to die
I come to breathe
in and out
They thought the air
cleansing cell by cell and
vanquishing demons and
I can’t say it’s had that exact effect
of vanquishing the tangled thoughts of my mind
But it is stiller
For a moment
The wind tickles the trees
The birds call to each other
I take a breath
And move along the path
