Long life with a boring, snoring sod
made the wife a warring whoring broad.

After reading The Busker by Roy Pett I was inspired to have a go at a Tyburn myself.

Bold sun

Jet ski flies o’er ocean, tide’s fun splash
All day affair - bold sun, red nun thrash

God’s wrath
~ Footpath ~
~ Glide path ~
Demon wing dipped bloodbath. God’s wrath seethes.
Gentle souls find footpath. Glide path breathes.

Glide path – the final path followed by an aircraft as it is landing,
thus our souls breathe as they alight in heaven.

Thank you
bless you!
Will you?
Hope you.
For your comment, thank you, bless you too.
I have to ask, will you, hope you do!
Can not,
will not,
care not,
do not,
To say that you can not, will not try;
is it that you care not, do not lie?

these modern days writing, typing, words
easy, compare scribing, carving sherds!

Every day kneeling, praising Him
Thankful for each shining, morning Hymn.

Crazy
Kooky
Silly
Charming
Fabulous fantastical maker
Seated on self-discovery throne
Comely
Calmly

Proudly
Windmills comely, calmly generate
Power slowly proudly profligate

feathered
tethered
you are but a heathered thought, weathered
through the flow of feathered pen, tethered

Thank you Gershon and Line for the discussions about the tyburn and your thoughts... much appreciated!
Tight like
coffin,
black like
nightmare...
The coffin-maker likes his black tight
wagon, driven by the mare at night.
