Across the Rooster Sky

is an escape from the
boy with loaves and fishes

now draw a circle
around your family

keep out the avengers
and rock throwers

deal them a hand of retaliation
if they persist in
their demands on your
loved ones.

Scratch, I am honoured to have your neat comment. Lately I have been doing a little experimenting. And it is like opening up a new window on the wall. Cheers from Truro, NS. ps. My wife and I have this novel we're posting--RUN DANNY, RUN. It's something we've been wanting to share with folks for awhile. Richard LP
