Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Empty plate

It's not going
To play 
This way
See
Take off
Your blinkers
These horses
They're good for
Running
Riding
Working
But they aren't 
The people
On this funny farm
And the cattle
They have 
Their eyes
Wide
And they look
Forwards 
Because only owls
Can look behind them
And I guess
There's a reason 
For that 
Forget about
The whispers
And the ticks
And the barflies
And the blow outs
Focus on 
The tables 
In the rain 
And if you have to
The dancing bears
The moon will come
Soon enough
And once all the
Howling is done
What's left
Is the plate 
On your table 
And you can eat
Or go hungry 
Or be glad
That there 
Was ever
A plate
Or when
It comes down
To it
A table 
At all
