Rayleigh Library Writers Group Blog

We are a diverse group from all walks of life. Our passion is to write; to the best of our ability and sometimes beyond. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursday each month, to read and critique our work in friendly, open discussion. However, the Group is not solely about entertaining ourselves. We support THE ESSEX AND HERTS AIR AMBULANCE by producing and selling anthologies of our work. So far we have raised in excess of £9,700, by selling our books at venues throughout Essex.

THE TRUTH ABOUT COVID

THE TRUTH ABOUT COVID ( It's no game).

by Rosemary Clarke

You can't think
You wait and pray
That they'll come through
It all OK.
Time drags on
There's lots to do
Will they be one
Of many or few?
You just have
To sit and wait
Wondering what
Will be their fate.
Your heart breaks
With every pain
Wondering if
You'll see them again.
If you think
It's just a game
On your death
You'll have your fame.
Lose family
Lose a life
It cuts everyone
Like a knife.
Wear mask
Keep away
Help those who help
The rest, okay?
Then they
Can help you too
Disease may not
Come after you.
