The poet wakes and looks aghast
The news is –
things are moving fast
Two points of

Truth flees - in
wake of rumours wild…
The play* begins:
on centre stage
In full
footlights is displayed
A Bear with bold
and flinty eye;
The challenge
is – who will defy
This modern
Czar with massive might?
When will tough
sanctions start to bite?
Unsettling – to
say the least
Perhaps a new
Beast-from-the-East?
