  Sadly no! This all happened when I was hospitalised and laid low with covid. The poem came about through overheard conversations in the hospital corridor. Surprising where inspiration is found even when one is on oxygen and being pumped full of liquids. Have a great day My Friend.

I love this! I’m so glad the hospital event was a birth, not a death.

    All the action was taking place unseen. I just heard the voices and thought – ‘Ah Yes! – a poem in the making’.
