Kenny Wheeler is a retired Unison member from South Lanarkshire. He recently completed a creative writing course with the WEA through his union. Here he shares a short poem inspired by the stormy night of Halloween 2020 during lockdown when few children were allowed out to do guising due to Covid-19 and bad weather.
Click-clack Click – clack
The wind blew the lonely letterbox plate
No-one there!
Just the rushing of the wind
In the dark, children’s voices
Guisers!
Too scared to visit Covid houses
Click-clack Click – clack
But no rap at the door
