Poor Mouthed To both sides I've paid my lot ringing with earnest emotion Bending like the reeds swayed by the season's bluster love winds taking me by storm Boastful and proud of the houses built then dried in crying for their tumble At one moment a king on his mount and the next a sullen wretch for whom there is no restoration Silver memories draw further away while poor mouthed breaths efface the gleam on the few coins I have remaining Quickly to the slot of souls I wish their clatter to mark a new beginning Willie ©2001 |

A wistful deposit, a woeful account, a wishful interest, a worthy amount. Enjoyed. "Dream of days when work was scrappy, Rare in our pockets the mark of mint, We were angry and poor and happy, And proud of seeing our names in print" [This message has been edited by RSWells (edited 08-28-2001).] |
