The Journey

CONTENT NOTE: THIS POEM EXPLICITLY REFERENCES DEATH.

Every February (since 2012) four poets take to the internet to write 28 poems across 28 days. This year, our sonnets are about famous sevens. 

West Norwood Cemetery is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries. It is located in the London Borough of Lambeth and was originally consecrated in 1837. One of its more famous residents is Mrs Isabella Beeton, whose book ‘Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management’ was a seminal instructional text for middle class housewives in the mid-nineteenth century.

This was written as a kind of anti-valentine poem, from the point of view of those of us with more than one partner.
