As this Indian summer warms our days
Blessing autumn with bright glaze
The leaves are barely on the turn
Still potent green
on tree and fern.
But Germans set
out for the polls
To vote new
leader and new goals
As the Age-of-Merkel
soon will be
A stepping
stone in history…
As Boadicea seen by some
Or suave
politician next to none
A powerhouse with
a strong voice;
Who now will be
the Germans’ choice?
Through uncertainty
in many spheres
The voice of
reason down the years
Her footsteps
will be hard to follow;
Behold the
beans all spilled tomorrow!
