Today's poet

[Hes]

There's been some great choices over the last couple days. I really liked Alf's two mushroom flavoured choices. Here are a couple rather morbid haiku from my latest trip onto the moors. The road was littered with animal corpses.

Untroubled, lambs play
under the empty-eyed gaze
of mangled rabbits

land of life & death
lapwings flap above the moor
where sun bleaches bone

Very good Haiku Hes


Moorland

It is beautiful and still:
the air rarefied
as the interior of a cathedral

expecting a presence. It is where, also,
the harrier occurs,
materialising from nothing, snow-

soft, but with claws of fire,
quartering the bare earth
for the prey that escapes it;

hovering over the incipient
scream, here a moment, then
not here, like my belief in God.

Sorry this is more of a song than a poem, sung (sort of) to the tune of Doe a Deer

Dough...... the stuff... that buys me beer...
Ray..... the guy that sells me beer...
Me...... the guy... who drinks the beer,
Far..... a long long way to get a beer...
So...... I'll have another beer...
La...... I'll have another beer...
Tea..... no thanks, I'm drinking beer...
That will bring us back to...
(Looks into an empty glass)
D'oh!

Brilliant...made me laugh a lot. Is it your own creation Stolly?
