If you’d like to be included in this slot, please get in touch: estherchilton@gmail.com. Poems can be up to 60 lines and prose 2000 words. If you’d like to add a short bio and photo, then great. All I ask is that there’s nothing offensive.
This week’s guest has been a student of mine on various courses with The Writers Bureau. She has also been a member of our writing group, Let’s Write, since it started. Please welcome Jodie Bishop with a moving poem:
If Only I’d Known
By
Jodie Bishop
If only I’d known, it would be the last family outing
If only I’d known, it would be the last party we hosted
If only I’d known, it would be the last family meal
If only I’d known, it would be the last time putting the children to bed, reading them stories
If only I’d known, it would be the last cuddle we had
If only I’d known, it would be our last kiss goodnight
If only I’d known, it would be the last phone call you made
If only I’d known, it would be the last time you left home for work, waving to us
If only I’d known, you weren’t going to come home
