Net Stockings

written by: Joyce Butler

@joycebwriter

You stayed the night

I told you to leave

and I scratch

Oh you're such a

All tied up
in my net
winter stockings

Bridie Murphy

Bridie is just a wife, mother and grandmother who loves to write. She is a retired teacher and is also a busy photographer. She lives with her husband in the countryside in west Limerick. Her late dad was a popular and successful poet and author. She discovered that she had a flair for writing following retirement when life slowed down a little.

As grandchildren arrived she was inspired to write about experiences with them and has had articles and poems published in local newspapers and journals. She is working towards publishing a book of her writings in the near future.

Whether it is the fear psychosis, the measures taken to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the dedicated and tireless work of groups of individuals in taking care of the afflicted, the resistance to the imposition of stringent regulations by the authorities and lastly the realization that we have to move on but with a changed perspective and living a new life.
