save our meadows

green and blue image, lots of nettles in the foreground, a multistemmed willow through which there are glimpses of blue sky, blue river and meadow.

Have you signed our petition?
To save the meadows?
Well not exactly… I did
sign up to something
online. I’ve blogged and written
poetry. Written
protesting to the council.
The plan to build homes
over the land that
absorbs, holds, the floodwater
is plainly absurd.
But of course, common sense plays
no part in this brawl.
Money screams much louder than
any kind of sense.
But still money cannot speak
with the river.
