Premium Member Helen's Brick House
Helen's brick house
was built by her grandpa James
with a specific design in mind:
the front black cross-windows
riminded one of Christ's sorrows;
when the off-white roll shades opened
the neighboors saw Helen wearing a rosette
on her blouse she herself...

Yet it seems to have always been that way
We all seem to have the weight of the world on are shoulders
Forgotten how to share the lode with are brothers and sisters

The morning sun hidden behind dark clouds
Everything below covered like a shroud
The air is humid, strong winds blowing from the west
These ominous signs put everyone’s nerves to test.

Streaks of lightening flashed across the sky
Sounds of...

Clippety, cloppety, clippety, cloppety
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
mounted for battle in all of their armor; they
rode off so gallantly through moors and fens.

The Wash
In 1961 it’s for a weekend away

On a grey winter Friday.

Out from London, 

We drive north on

The A10 to the Wash.

 

Beyond Ely it’s flat and bleak.

It’s an impression we seek

Of a region we’ve not...

Once were badgers in leafy dale, 
once were rabbits and foxes too,
once were pheasants in shining copse where cuckoopint and coltsfoot grew.

Once were songbirds in privet hedges, 
once were bluebells for mile upon mile,
once were...

Ochre Dreams

Grey spaces, but the day has broken
Hope rubs an eye, turns back to snooze
Clear water in mason jar hold one life
No frills, no leaves, ochre lotus intrudes ...
Hopes falling into grey sleep

Sometimes a solitary dandelion...

The Land of the Lost
Come we will an the road is open,
Come we will an the door swings ajar,
The land we glimpsed longing from fens afar,
Shall now be ours to make or mar!

Unto the gate we shall be holpen,

The Fens
Snipe and Curlew are skating on the mist
they sing of the water
that sky-water which sways to their songs.

Flat is this land with no coastal margins,
here I am the peak of a mountain

What I'M Doing In Polluted Eastern Cape

Newtown, South Africa, may inspire some day
Through this time here, I must turn senses away
From adults sending kids to buy "loose smokes"
And even ears from women cussing moms, sex jokes!

Celtic Mother
.

 
In the time of dead leaves, 
when wide-eyed things
frowned at sound, 
and snow fell through fog, 
a red berry circlet
crowned her hair.

When hunger stilled infants
and frost shrouded ancients, 
wrinkled laughter dappled
forests, glades, fens.
Her talons...

Stratosphere
seduction sits in the prepotence
deep blues inviting  
to engulf
in the wading of her fens  
 
without apprehension  
she is slayed  
endorphins exploding in air
fear interrupting of night  
swords driven tight
