Cornucopia Earth

Cornucopia 
                                     Capra aegagrus hircus
                                         Cornu ever flows

                                     But The Horn Of Plenty
                                      Is soon to run empty 

        
        While  the  Nanny  has cut  
                                                Off
     her horn to nourish 
         
      us   Kids   un-
            
         sated    we
                 
              tear   our
                     
                     Mother
                             limb          limb
                                     from

Robert Lindley October 28, 2017 at 12:41 PM I love the creativity, shape, depth and brilliance displayed in this poem my friend. ""When the horn sounds across the valleys, resting birds begin to fly* Irish boys will be drinking at O'Malley's, singing, dreaded death comes nigh.* *Death comes nigh.*"" Robert Lindley October 29, 2017 at 11:09 AM Those verses floweth from my pen , in a poem I wrote long ago.. I have it here somewhere, perhaps I could find it if I searched hard enough. Seems like it was from the mid 70's.. if my bad memory serves me well on that.
