Are we there yet?
Carol Ann Duffy, Carol Ann Duffy
The pen
The port
The paper
In between the pensive thinking
Random verbs
And bartered drinking
Settled now in nature's haven
From the breeze
The constant maven
Seeking patterns and a rhythm
Time to think
Transcribing reason
Are we there yet?
Carol Ann Duffy, Carol Ann Duffy
Glasgow
Stafford
Manchester
She stoops to conquer, all surveying
River Sow
The Clyde banks breaking
A second chance, fate has ordained
A lesson
Inside out insane
Salvage the honour of the country
Red on black
A Poet's Casino
Are we there yet?
Carol Ann Duffy, Carol Ann Dufy
Dylan
Larkin
Rossetti
Do not come meekly to that mazed role
Flee! fly! rise!
Forge words in fire
In between the leisured classes
The boy's clubs
The stupid asses
Use poetry to speak to power
Catch, hold, charm
Return the favour
Au chapeau! And, now to relish.
Are we there yet?
Me, 2009, innit!
