Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Peeky Blinders Slam

Peeky Blinders

Flat Caps adorned with Razor Blades

Clandestine meetings in smogy working-class Pubs  with sawdust underfoot

No rest for the downtrodden or wicked

Fodder for the Industrial Gentry

On the reverse side

Only Gangs from the Underworld Thrive

The Stage for a Gritty Drama 

Faces etched on Bleak Prison Wall's

Now forgoten Town's rundown

Descendants with uncertain futures

Born in the wrong Decade

Yet still a Slave

Peeky Circumstances

Dark alliances

Jan Allison November 3, 2019 at 1:40 PM i've heard a lot about it but never seen it Chris, not sure if it appeals to me or not - may try on catch up one day:-) hugs jan xx Christopher Flaherty November 3, 2019 at 1:50 PM I know what you mean Jan. Didn't think i would like it either but as you know tv is nothing but repeat repeat repeat so i gave it a chance and you know what it's not bad at all. If nothing else it's a history lesson from bygone times. Cheers my Love
