We Haven't Got The Energy
Not like the old days, prefer to stay around and laze,
we've moved on, reluctantly, entered a new phase;
remember when we used to make love all night,
now we think twice about turning on the light.
Winter is coming, perhaps we should live in the sun,
we used to, all those times we had so much fun;
someone once said to me that we lived like lords,
transient, it's only time before life gives what affords.
Now those 'lords' were not where you are mon ami,
they were with me, just laughing aloud distantly;
I had no 'side,' I'm still the same using gas and elec,
maybe reduced, just camping out on a smaller deck. Â
What's to come? Who knows - poetry I will still write,
until, 'Where's the power gone, who turned off the light?'Â

Hello Terry and Anne I hope you are both well. Your poem highlights how much of a change we have all faced of late. I think if you went back in time say ten years and told people what would happen, they would think we were nuts. It feels like another world of late. It’s going to get worse before it gets better I fear. We are in for a brisk winter for sure, maybe power cuts too. But let us be thankful to have a roof over our heads. For some this winter will be facing it outside shop fronts. I always worry about those on the street this time of year. I like how romanticised the passed is brought to life in this piece. I think we all wish we could go back to better timesÂ
all the very best to you both, and thanks for the thoughts
