An unusual year of voting and war
Syria’s new hope and Israel’s death score
A Labour landslide and Trump back for more
(Elon’s a turncoat, and X is his whore)
More storms and wildfires, while glaciers thaw
No new plastic deal, and COPs are a bore
More solar and wind on land and offshore
More calls to rewild: let nature restore
And in my small world, I opened a door
This unusual year I turned fifty-four

Life in Transit: Favourite Travel & Tribute Poems
This creative collection, now in its 2nd edition, brings together travel and tribute poems by Wayne Visser. The anthology pays tribute to the likes of Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou, Barack Obama, Antoni Gaudí & Leonardo da Vinci, and reflects on travels ranging from China and South Africa to Ecuador and Russia. Life is lived in the in-between / In transit / Between coming and going / Between staying and moving on / Between here and there / And what we call home / What we call settled or contented / Is merely a resting place / A station for refuelling / A nexus for reconnecting / A junction for changing direction.
