21st Century Nursery Rhymes # 165
Robert Barnes, fellow fine,
Can you shoe this horse of mine?
No, good sir, that I can’t,
Why ever not, fellow fine?
Primarily because I’m an estate agent called Mike
But mainly because that’s a push bike...

Dark Knight
Authenticity,
Does the word ring true
Does it call from the outside
Or the inside of you

Authenticity,
Your voice renewed
Zero-sum once committed
Zero-sum payment due

The Torch
Not cute or in genre,
  in tune or in tone

The message drives forward,
  the muse casting stones

Untimely, eternal,
  a voice speaking fast

My pen now a torch
  —the darkness is past

They
cut up
the common,
enclosed the heath
and
made
the land
all their own-
putting to the
plough-
once 
freemen,
then wage slaves-
as a pauper
lie.

For more on the English enclosure please read

Poor Poet
Embers were glowing in the furnace
                                Poet scratched his dumb ass in harness
                                   He fought with his charming muse
                                     The enchantress Penélope Cruz

Premium Member All Dead
When you stop to think about it…
I’m talking old movies    with
All these old    familiar faces
How names    incredibly    pop into your head
Bit players
In movies 70 and more years old
Edgar Buchanan
Leon Errol
Binnie Barnes
And strangely    lots of names
Some of the more famous actors
Names escape memory
When you stop to think about it…..
How miraculous
They live
All dead    but quite alive...

Old Barnes Glimpsed From a Speeding Car
The corner of my eye notes it
as my car speeds by,
eyesight pings it
momentarily, an image
looks back.

The outbuilding is vacant,
bathed in a sparrow and bat time
that flutters inside its hollow shell.

Barn ambience
has kidnapped my attention
it has stabled my eyes in a timeless stall
where horse tails hang suspended
from broken timepieces
not clocks, just pieces of time
that,
like dust in sunlight
muster in the air
to mime a car and a glance
rubbernecking back....
