Dorset poet Wiilam Barnes they do say
a C of E rector in his day
Determined to de-saxonise
clothed his verse in dialectic disguise
Olde English in the vernacular
to celebrate a dialect
Language really said by men
poetized with words
used there and then

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
Form:
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
(Barnes & Noble: Plymouth Meeting Pa: January, 2016)
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
(Barnes & Noble Plymouth Meeting Pa: January, 2016)
Without them, there’d be no poetry
No songs, no lip service
No books, no Bible, no dictionaries
No libraries or Barnes and Noble
No languages, no need for Babl
No googoo’s or gaga’s
No yelling for the home team
No hallelujahs or amens
Without words, we’d all be pets.
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.

Oliver Golssmith's 'The Deserted Village' or John Clare/William Barnes poetry
Embers were glowing in the furnace
Poet scratched his dumb ass in harness
He fought with his charming muse
The enchantress Penélope Cruz
And invited Tom Cruise at the Barnes

Here she comes again

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
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.
