Today's prompt from NaPoWriMo was writing a poem with the title of one of Iain Banks' spaceships from his science fiction books. However, I heard yesterday the sad news that Iain is extremely ill and battling cancer. The full story is on his website http://www.iain-banks.net/. I didn't feel I could write a poem under these circumstances but offer the following using a title from the list suggested:
Unfortunate Conflict of Interest
The Quarry could be his last book
for a conflict of interest is a sad page for a writer,
but with humour he makes his plans
explains to his fans
and signs off for now.
*******
Love and prayers, Iain
