akhtar
Red jumper ties, black see-through tights
Unusual iris with guise that hooks
Rings of auburn hair, loosely wave
Giggling friends innocently rave

On the precinct of hattersley rear
From the windows of so near so spar
Brown boy with song rehearsed
To the hills of shy
+Steven Curtis Lance
This is a good one, my dear friend; you do some fascinating things with rhyme here which are very effective.

The poem is fresh, and not predictable. Very nicely done, and evocative of intriguing imagery and ideas.

"Brown boy with song rehearsed
To the hills of shy"

Those lines are wonderful! I can certainly relate to them. I have spent a great deal of time in "the hills of shy," and I have had my song rehearsed but left unsung so many times.

But we are singing our songs now.

Is that Hattersley West Lancs Akhtar? The spar shop? Is that where you get your groceries?

You see how your poem gets people thinking.
akhtar
thank you steve.

itsinhiseyes, yes it is that hattersley, near hyde, i worked there about 1980, in the precinct, it was the spar opposite the co-op. do you know the area?
This poem is about a girl i met up there, its about how life would have turned out if i had taken a different path.

Hmmmm...sounds like tar and feathers, but slag off at em anyway to me gobbler: and I ain't even from the merry old motherland of Bollocks and cockle shells, neither, while singing "Too-a-lie-you-are-lie-hey" too God save all the Queens!
Ain't words such a fun little twirls, for all that boils, burrs buts, but never burns?

Cool avtar too...it gave you away by the way to which way a way is to far away!

Love Jasper tongue.gif

I cant stand your avtar Akhtar. I was going to ask you to change it. It gives me the creeps every time it pops up. What is it? It looks like Golam. It's not you is it? No offence old thing, but it doesn't do you justice.

I don't know Hattersley. Just trying to get a geographical fix on you. Take no notice of of the man from down under. The man's a nutter.

The avatar is suposed the green man, i don't know if know the story, i will tell you anyway, its about a man who drank from the fountain of eternal life and he now roams the earth still alive to this day.

Really? Well I hope I don't run into him on a dark night. Imagine. Looking like that and living forever.
