This Morning on the Tube – Poem

Good morning everyone,

I hope you’re well and are having a lovely week πŸ™‚

You meet all sorts of people on the tube, from classic people that you meet daily to people dressed up as characters, some playing instruments – you name it and you never know, it might just have been on a London tube πŸ˜‰

Thinking back on this over the other day, I thought it could make for a lovely little series of poems. So, I put pen to paper, and in today’s blog, we’ll explore my first version of “This Morning on the Tube”.
