Eight-line Poems

Ribbon

Ribbon

Say “ribbon” to me
and I think Courtalds,
the company that built
my home town’s reputation
for fabric production,
especially ribbons.
Their grand factory building
in Coventry stands as reminder.

Note: I am unsure that this qualifies as poetry and is not just prose cut into lines. My recent accident has left me weak and drained of energy and writing anything has proved almost impossible to me. But the solution is to begin and let exercise work its wonders. Hopefully, the poetry will return as a result.
