Jane Dougherty has come up with a theme for May . It is 42, now Jane describes it thus: “42 after Douglas Adams’ answer to the question of life, the universe and everything. The form is like the Cherita in its structure with a bit of added interest. The first line/stanza asks a question or makes a statement that begs a question, the second stanza/two lines sets the scene or the background, the last stanza/three lines answers the question or resolves it in some way.”
What’s the point?
Why try it’s easier to die
Or even smoke a joint
They won’t miss me if I’m gone
There is no point in going on
Me, a half remembered song.
