2020.13 Season of the Lych

(If you'd like to tackle pantoums and other repeating forms, I've made a spreadsheet for them (obviously!): http://bit.ly/poetryrepforms)

So this must be the Spring of our discontent.
Our grumblings now barely touch the weather;
While some of us will struggle to make rent,
Still others are just spending, hell for leather.

Our grumblings now barely touch the weather;
While some urge all us sinners to repent,
Still others are just spending, hell for leather,
And in the dark, conspiracies foment.

While some urge all us sinners to repent,
The rest explore the length and strength of tethers,
And in the dark, conspiracies foment;
To break the fragile piece takes one more feather.

The rest explore the length and strength of tethers,
While some of us will struggle to make rent.
To break the fragile peace takes one more feather,
And this must be the spring of our discontent.

Lychgate at the Parish Church of St Mary & St Giles, facing the High Street, Stony Stratford
