Agricola

Early to bed early to rise
out standing in his field
good farmer Brown never stops
from dawn to dusk
rotating his crops
hoping it will bear a fruitful yield
when he brings the harvest in
tho' full of crows which do most harm
it's enough to make one's head spin
but that's how life goes down on the farm

Rotating Blackout

I spent my night
Sleepless due to blackout
Torturing, I fight.

Rotating Circle

Everything turns in circle

The old wheel rotate like a cycle

All spoke come again seating vehicle

Believe this a truth not a miracle!


An Oink Battle Is Not a Moo Nor a Rotating Potatoe

I wonder but wondering is neither wavering or wilting. And just who would build a duck arch at a junction anyway? The way is always clearer when the past is lost but who argues with gaggles of geese is often left questioning the ideology of a cosmic soup dish although this should never be miscontrued as a soapy basin for basil is intelligant so when feeding fish please be very aware that acorns are large and therefore a not an option for flakes. Kiss then. Good. Go on then kiss. Mr and mrs in a barn. Canoodling. But not noodles. Hahaha beans waving with beards hahaha mystical moo meeting a hay bale.

Rotating Door 
(M J Halliday 20140623)

I stepped through the rotating door,
To be born in a nameless land.
Recycled again, like before...
A soul as ageless as the sand.

No one escapes mortality.
I stepped through the rotating door.
Spent the next life in a city
Among the disenfranchised poor.

The next few lives were marred by war;
Civilizations rose and fell.
I stepped through the rotating door.
A General said "War is Hell".

This time around, I can recall
Glimpses of what happened before.
In broad contexts, this life seems small.
I stepped through the rotating door.
