Samples

Poet Tree: Sat under the poet tree Whose branches reach out words That have inspired local writer's for centuries Classic songs are sung by birds As I finish my final verse The last poet under the poet tree Tomorrow comes the concrete roads And the concrete homes Bye to the Greenland Bye to the fresh land So generic Jonny 2.0 can save ten minutes driving Getting to work While investment jerks Buckle their belts After raping a little more money Out of the badly beaten Mother earth. ALCOHOLIC WITH SICK ON HIS SHOES: Alcoholic with sick on his shoes, Sat on a brown wooden bench In the middle of town With his old dog, Flea ridden, Shaking, gray, Lacking good vision Waiting for a meal A dropped pasty or pie A sandwich, perhaps rye. I, was never taught in school To be such a man It was always You could become a lawyer, You could become a teacher, You could become a business man Never, you could be an alcoholic No, I was never given that option And that’s why I don’t truly understand him Why none of us do. He could be the world’s greatest mind And you've just passed him by.

Hi R.C.
I like the poet tree particularly
while investment jerks
buckle their belts
After raping a little more money
out of the badly beaten
mother earth

Good stuff
