We’ve always wanted to visit Kyev
A beautiful city I’m led to believe
So it’s with regret that we’re currently looking
To pick up the phone and cancel our booking
For there’s a rumour widely quoted:
The risk is high that you'll catch covid.

- Comment from author about the poem: Black humour. This one I agonised over - there's humour in every situation but given the awful state of this poor country and the suffering of its people it may seem to some to be offensive. If that's so I'll happily remove it.

Sincere words Michael.
Andy
Yes, and can we still buy any (sylla) berles there?!
a missile, a bomb or a murderous shooting
which poisonous death awaits mr putin
how many more times
shall we witness war crimes
before the day someone executes him
just crazy, to introduce war
to a world still reeling from COVID..
an apt use of reverse psychology
in poetic form, to showcase
your exasperation
at this befuddling and shameful episode
in humanity's history..
humour needs to prick
if it's to encourage the healing of our overwhelmed
sensitivity's, I think
(as long as it's in good taste)..
thanks Michael, a read that adds a realistic
balanced and relatable perspective
to this challenging times..
(btw
on another note, in USA
as a way to get money, right
to the hands of the Ukraine people
and not some, charity scam
people began booking, Airbnb
rooms and requesting
no refunds, for cancellations
or unavailable status of rooms
so the owners got the money direct..
I thought this was so inventive
and reassured my dwindling hopes
that goodness, may someday
prevail)
