Short Barrows Poems

Economic woes I dread
To feed my family I sold the toupe off my head
Went to the shop 
Where I fainted with shock
It costs two wheel barrows of money to buy a loaf of bread...

Often heard is the blue bird
Springs chrips
Robins and Sparrows
Perch
Nature choir singing ever louder heard
Sing, sing, sing all birds in all trees and barrows

Darkest is the night;
As the rabbits and hide neath the barrows;
Chattering in silence gibbering;
Disappearing till next day or spring;
Early autumn birds flee south;
Over the citizens houses;
Lol, dark of nights summer critters hide in fright;

It was collected with deal
It backfired with glee
Refunding with pain
Casting away the gain
Sweats burrowed the furrows
To move,we borrowed the barrows
The barons gave the limit
The fire cackled in the pit
I am hot from pursue
I'm told I''ll be sued
Who will stand for me?
It is debt!
And I am incepted
And I am shamed
That's what debt does to all....

Mid the darkness shallows
Pit across the deepen sights
Blackness circumference barrows
The devise of light
Brilliants though shines
Every bright for you see 
The light ever always firms dines
Demises the darkness flees
Light always sparks
As every sparks turns to light
Light ever always shine out bright
Light darkness is over shun

Dark art in a black cathedral
Everyones invited see all the people
Dressed as ghouls in barrows with wights
love is the spider that consumes the fly

Half my face for all to see
the other side black like the darkest sea
Moonshine falls on crystal eyes
the bones of our minds creak and sigh

Midnight mare moves with me
We rock and sway like ships at sea
On an ocean plain of marble floor
Within my heart her anchors moored...
