For week 1 of our Poems of the Week, Robert Hancock, who will be jointly curating future weeks, shares one of his own poems.
Garage
The garage war is over!
There were no victors
Just three shelving units
And a rickety new cupboard
There were some close skirmishes
Assembly instructions vv common sense
Wooden mallet vv flat pack
Innocent advice vv belligerence
Memory will lose the details
Friendly cup’o tea and KitKat
Polish painter next door
With broad shoulders
For now, envisage peace
Until the garden shed
Becomes the new
Battlefield
