A sonnet today, by the Merseyside poet who presents Poetry Please on BBC Radio 4. It begins like this:
Life is a hospital ward, and the beds we are put in
are the ones we don’t want to be in.
are the ones we don’t want to be in.
Roger McGough

This is also the poem for today in the book The Heart’s Time by Janet Morley. (The personal reflections after the poem on the linked page are by the blogger – the book has a couple of pages.)
