That Spring 

Picture
Miles Salter, 5th May, 2020
In reading this prose-poem, presented above with the text set out as the poet presents it, you might like to consider what he could be implying about space, silence, things that grabbed our attention and what we didn't pay attention to, how humans behaved and how we failed to modify our behaviour, and what we learned and failed to learn about ourselves in this extraordinary spring.
This poem is taken from Carol Ann Duffy and Manchester Metropolitan University's poetry project during the Coronavirus, 'WRITE where we are NOW'. To visit the project's growing collection of poems, click the button.
