Dear Humans
This is For The Vocal Epistolary Challenge
This is For The Vocal Epistolary Challenge which you can read about below.
As this is based on how we treat the earth, I think "Beds Are Burning" by Midnight Oil is an appropriate accompaniment. We need more Peter Garretts.
The prompt is:
Write a poem in letter form. Begin with a greeting (e.g. Dear X,) and end with a closing signature (e.g. Sincerely, X).

We Can Swing Together
Introduction I was listening to Lindisfarne's first five albums and there are so many songs on there that I could use to inspire poetry, then "We Can Swing Together" came on, and it's about a party being broken up by the police and the partygoers ending up in jail before the beak, but it is all very light-hearted and fun and I thought that title reminds me of the Vocal Social Society #BetterTogether hashtag, and it is so much better when we work together rather than fight. So here we go.
