a lark's psalm
pray stay lady mary
and say a sad mass
hard's that raw fact
a man falls splat jack
as a bad man
act that last gasp
a fat cat's black math
hard cash class
what say that mad max
bank that fast track
craft a bad draft
cash all that graft
and that's tact
'happy and all that'
as apt as art
a lark's psalm
windfall apples
a hard early frost
leaves rime in the coffee pot
so stir the fire up
enough to warm a cold cup
breakfast a windfall apple
about in that cold
the fields as raw as should be
the fences are down
under the bramble and fern
the wood coming back to true
awake and sleepless
the 'possum under the boards
likes good company
accepts a windfall apple
carefully eats in quiet
These poems make for an exciting read. I enjoyed the use of language and rhythm.
