Short Curlews Poems

up on the moors, sweet love
shadows dance at dusk.
low across the purple shades
wild ponies whinny 
and snuffle steam into brown grass
while curlews cry the sun to rest....

Morningtide reverberates, the songstress calls,
buoyant curlews play in oceans of copious grass,
wave after wave shattering against dry stone walls,
meadows dance the rhythm of the farmers weatherglass,
implementing the orchestration from moortop squalls.

Boys whose, curlews virtues
my, my, my
And girls superb views
Transverse views virtues
Firms whose diverse views

Pay dues to entrepreneurs whose of work crews

Clerks whose payments of church dues
Not nearly a down payment on those church pews
Now you see
Wooh is Me

Invisible in the night time glare.

The Curlews flight.
I can only wish goodnight.
To the people and wildlife out there.
Who, like me heard the sound in the air.

Moon smiles and night palls a velvet blue veil, 
And owls and curlews hail with a flirting tale; 
Xylophones and cymbals bounce for our dance, 
So come sweetie; let’s dive in a hypnotic trance.
