Mysterious Minstrel
with harlequin hat,
Sweet sounds of the forest I hear...
as I move with continuous motion,
green trousers he wore...
below patchwork jacket,
with penny whistle he magically performed
reminiscence of times past,
I kneel before him...
put coins in his hat,
"thankyou," he then said from beneath his beard,
"the money's for my old black cat..."
given choice I would remain...
eyes fixed observation clear,
but sadly I must take my leave
for there are timely matters to attend.

Nice submission Jenny. I'm a
Nice submission Jenny.
I'm a hopeless watcher/admirer of buskers and living near York there is no shortage of them around the Minster on the odd occasion that I visit.
One observation if I may Jenny?
Perhaps save explicit explanations of the piece for personal messages to familiar co-writers or those who specifically request them, somehow reading your comment to Maisie et al. took a little of the burnish away.
But a super effort and thoroughly enjoyable
Lovely submission,
Scratch.

A lovely mystical poem but
A lovely mystical poem but also for me it has a carnival flavour with the mention of a patchwork jacket and a harlequin hat. Once again, for me,it conjures up an image of a coat with tails and a high harlequin hat and I imagine him walking and playing his penny whistle with laughing children following behind...a bit reminiscent of the Pied Piper!
Much enjoyed.

'Street musicians often have the true mystical soul of an ancient bard.' Wonderful memory and poetry. All of the best!
