The Kestrel
Two people I know wrote nature poems about ketrels. Despite knowing my views on nature poems, they showed them to me. I wrote this one:
By Kirby’s rotting flat block greys
where sixties urban dreams decay
against the skyline you might glimpse
by overpass and motorways
a kestrel hovering aimless
Pushed to the edge by man’s advances
or by fate and circumstances
its super strength losing out
undermined by lack of chances
scavenging wherever it can
By Kirby’s flat blocks nature’s loser
often seen near bargain booze
the kestrel with its super strength
but lack of choice of life to choose
scavenging whatever it can

Thanks all. Francine, Kirby est une région au bord de la Liverpool elle est trés belle; tu doit La visiter une fois. Augusta, Darling, our leader is looking forward to meeting you. Steve, I don't believe in free will because our brains are made of chemicals and our minds are the mental product of those chemicals and thermodynamics together with the interpretation that we put on current stimuli in the light of our back-stories, and as such our decisions are just a by-product of all of those things obeying the laws of physics and sociology.
