Poet Erik La Prade and illustrator S. Cranswick are back to bring you another poem.

First it was “Edith Piaf on Bleecker Street,” a breezy snapshot of a New York City street scene.

Now it’s “London Visit,” a personal account of what happens when the skies turn grey and the bullets start flying 1,500 miles aways.

Erik dedicates this poem “to Don and Brice.”
