I can do this political poetry/

Social comment in my sleep.

Labour/SNP/Tory-baiting;

(Lib Dems hardly count).

Same with landscape -

Admiration of Highlands

In forensic detail.

Is it not time therefore

To diversify?

New themes, new horizons;

More humour, more relationships -

Write lyrics for a song or three.

Draft a short play, at least scenes.

Jokes, tall tales, reviews/crits.

Back to short story writing?

Stick to what you know?

Triond readers, you decide.
