A BROODING PLACE
A brooding place where mists hang low
a desperate place for wilting dreams
insensate hopes and black despair
where tortured tongues that cut the air
contend their kin to tethered souls.
The chains and fetters once released
in metal tones submerged no more
as views of hills on sloe-black nights
seen through the traceries of leaves
concede to chivalry aroused.

A fine write and pic Michael. Cooeee - me singing may be cut orf today - some broadband work in our area. See ya when I see ya!
Hope it's working okay even though I can't hear your singing !!
Cooeeeee - I still got in today, on 'ere! You turned that sound down on me? How's the evening going?
Good on yer mate - evening going well - wife cooking Malaysian curry - me already on the wine - probably be too pissed to watch the match tonight but it'll make the result more palatable.
This is a first class write Michael - must put it in my favs for further reads.
I feel really flattered - thanks so much Fay

WELCOME BACK MIKE ~ We have missed your Philosophy & Artistry ! Love today's monotone Abstract "Forty Grades of Shay" ! I love melancholy poetry very nooooostalgic. I'm still in FOOTY mode while England are still swirling round in the CUP ! Have saved your poem as a FAVE. I have read and marked it ~ it will take time to inwardly digest ! You Friend Brian ~ Football Crazy !
Ready to watch tonights game - yes great to be back after a trip to Northumberland.
Excellent write. Superb!
Cheers H - I appreciate your comment.
