Doors from B&Q
Sleepless is this night
Fog and ice outside
Here its warm
I can afford the bill,
not another cold.
There is no point
In shivering,blue toes
and aching knees,
get through winter's chill,
thick socks and sleeping cap.
This not for everyone
some will die this winter
far more than Finnish-lands.
Single glazing, empty lofts,
our traditions kept alive.
We build in brick
one at a time !
and doors from B+Q.

I often wonder how many survive the cold. This captured the difference between those who could and could not.
Door purchases from B + Q was a nice isolated ending.

Excess winter deaths in UK in 2014 were 18,200 the lowest since records began the highest mortality in females This is far higher than Finland,a colder country during winter. I wrote this after reading of this a few years back.One has to take care when writing poetry about such events that the poetry is not undermined by content..
When writing one must maintain the literature whether it be poetry or prose, passion should not overcome substance.'doors from B&Q' cooled the frustration, and makes the point without preaching .I am trawling through my writings editing and re posting . Poetry needs to be read often ,one of the problems on DUP is that poems slide back into the library of the writer becoming overwhelmed. I am afraid this happens with most poetry,yet music and song are kept alive by frequent performanceThank you for calling Ahavati
