Tall Towers and Deep Wells
TALL TOWERS AND DEEP WELLS

My love, come and feast on my two round mountains
whose perky tops are as dark as red roses,	
and that are as soft and round as marshmellows.
They stand tall and erect as a giant tower.
Thy pleasurable tongue may be plunged into this...

Of Walls and Wells
Walls too high, above the grasses I see
Walls above my eye, below the world of me
Fencing my eye, lions of grey roaring
Reaching the sky, birds of prey soaring.

Walls of lamentation are memories of war
Galls of incantation are cairns in jar
Facing the wailing walls are men...

The Epitaph of Mr Alex Wanton Wells
He was born Alex Wanton Wells -
A healer of the incurable and a remover of spells,
Died chasing his insatiable appetite for quails;
He’s not there, for he kicked the pails!...

Wells Fargo Man
I wrote this poem at 2 am last night when I couldn't sleep.  I enjoyed writing it 
immensely and I'd love to see someone sing it to the tune of Wells Fargo Wagon 
from The Music Man and put it on You Tube :)

Penny Drops Into Wishing Wells
Penny drops into wishing wells,
A coin flipped freefall through the dim,
Streaming trails of wishes behind
Beckoning streaks of luck begin.

Joy mounts and rides the saddled coin,
Penny drops into wishing wells.
Happy laughter follows behind
The sound, she landed in the deep.

The tiniest sacrifices
Are made for peace of mind,...

Sophie Wells
Sophie has been around animals all her life, 
‘Cos her dad’s a farmer and she loves horses, 
She was born on the 5th day of May in 1990,
With no nerve feeling in her fingers or feet. 

Lincoln England graced her and she became, 
A grade...

Echoed pealing of far-off bells

                        chases thoughts that swirl somewhere else,

I set the date
Hope I am not late
To save some souls
From chilly fate

The year of our Lord
Dial one nine, one two
From my home-based lab
After locking in-situ

A gyro spins
A crackle, a flash
I land on the deck
With a terrible crash

Oh souls that surround me
Running here and around
Never...
