February 2018 Collage Poem - Running with the Wild Wind
Various forms, jump into sestinas
with withering winds and eager ancestors
A room with no windows shakes and rattles
It holds inside a madman singing of
Man's Fall.
From man back to monkey
With a wave of Mr Wizard's Wand
That cruel hateful yellow star
Kissing chaos: my man is not ill
Tasting the salt, feeling the bullets
He disappointed his ancestors,
as he cared nothing for the worm
Wizards pray in bullet rain, and the wind laughs at us
Joyriding across the truth with Nigel across skeleton trees
Mr Magic's wind-strewn apes rocked his wizard ways
It might be a clapped out old
banger but it had plenty of action
on the back seat.

I really enjoy these works. Your group sounds like such fun, and friendship - and learning. I value learning - a lot.
