Hi folks. I'm new here and I hope you accept poems. Here's one just off the press. Hope you like it. Regards r

Great Expurgations:
Kath e Chrism (not Schism but a catechism) I relate:
The tomb salute continues up the Cant (Kant, Chant) e Bury Road
As the Pilgrims chant their odes to the fallen
In penitential rite of pageantry progress.
Young bucks, Stallions as some would rather,
Flick their adolescent tails in delight
Of the ancient spiel of Chaucer-
In years to come a mourning rite appears in the East
As stallion pilgrims take to the Road in the garb
Of the one’s our team hath slaughtered,
Faces lined with knowledgeable expressions and respectful furrows.
The list of any dead, files upon the way;
Human litany a love moves yet,
Mourning the demise of much loved friends-
Not simply promoted, inspired and invested larger-than-life images.

You have written rhymes
Some were funny, some were sad
Telling of your life and times
All were brilliant, NONE were bad.

-Soutra- Thanks for the sympathy, she was 86 when she finally cut the apron strings. However, she remains my spiritual friend.
Go ahead and kick, it may be constructive.
The essence of being lowly, is it not, is that there is plenty of work to do to be higher, unless of course one is on the way further down. Do you suspect this is the direction? r.

-Soutra- Thanks. She was a good age, and a well deserved rest too.
Not the WWII bombings, no, no, no; the more recent IRA related strife.
Go ahead and kick, you now what they say, when you're lowly, the only way is higher, unless you haven't hit bottom yet.
It may be constructive.
I plan building a massive literary edifice whence to conquer my-commode! Perhaps grandad's gardenshed is the place to start.
Any help is help.
