The Raven and The Bard
The Raven and the Bard
-Daniel Henry Rodgers
The Raven's quill drips shades of blackest night,
Its haunting words, a melody of fright.
The Bard's natural lines, like "Evangeline's" fair hair,
Shed history's warm light to chase away all care...

And smile at every passing inch
Aimlessly following the walls
And your voice
Throughout the house you lay your head at night
It was cozy
Decorated delicately
In memories...

The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots Ii
Gazing down along the zealously
Monitored borders of well clipped
Evergreen Privet hedges.
Standing watchful guard over
Divisions
Re-enforced by concrete posts and
Darkly stained, wooden, wavy-lap
Fences;
Age-old neighbourly disputes, petty
Grudges and childish jealousies -
Ably demonstrated by various
Patchworks of shabbily...

Spoken in symbolic language

bile deluge if you show the sanguinary breath,
crimson waterfall sizzling on lava rock hellscape.
Yclept necrophelia maestra,
macabre tableau,
dips douse abyssal incarnate,
