Brexit Sonnet No. 74 – ‘Europe Day’

Europe Day, a day to think aloud?
A day for thoughtful, peaceful contemplation?
More like a day to show we’re loud, and proud
Of Europe’s path of peaceful restoration.
The stars shine down this day in yellow splendour.
So pay no worship to the garish Sun,
Or to those Brexit fibs and lies surrender,
Or Deceptions tangled webs, now daily spun.
All these we put aside this day of joy.
An ode to freedoms dearly-won and held,
This passing Brexit wind will not destroy.
This music, this food of love, doth tightly weld.
So rip us not, we’re fused by love unbounded,
This day is ours; by friends and love surrounded.
