Since we had such a great response from the George The Poet’s session back in October we thought we’d release another poem that we’ve been sitting on for a while.
Based on the saying ‘when life gives you lemons, make lemonade’, it’s telling us to make the most of a bad situation – and from some of what’s being said, that’s certainly what George has done. As we’ve come to expect from his poetry, Lemonade contains some interesting, politicised verse and is delivered with finesse. If you like this one, be sure to check out his YouTube channel and subscribe to his Tumblr for some thought-provoking non-poetical musings on life.
