Carry it out as an insect on the 4 legs
and the arms width, of a furlong, with its fur coat
that keeps it warm all night long
When the sea-sons change you may find yourself standing in the summer's shade
There's no change, the waves of the air still fall like the bronze beam leaves,
as the beads get planted as a charm, stem: the string,
strungs the suitars, sitars, tars on the roads, tarts on the corners kissing toads
Hold your clevage in the clothing, don't go starting the imposing
because 'too exploit' lowers your price...
you go shouting like the lad on the market stall
selling his melons 30 and 4, pence
hence the bruises on the skin
he accepts to deny that he lets anybody in
his warm smile could hide all of the back-tearia of street
that he got put up in, got raised up in,
and the girl on the corner was really a sold'ier
fighting pipes of pied pipers, alligning lines in the weavers
and streamer on, this goes on... all night long
and a furlong is far too long, far too far gone
Author notes
Inspired by Joanna Newsom.. harping the background of Sprout and bean
My poem is of acceptance, and letting out, and getting out. There's onlyone person in this poem... but they have their characteristic(k)s...
the girl on the corner is the lad on the stall - transformation...
I think a person goes throught different types of sharacter since day one of 'born'... and before born, you were like a sproute; a seed... and they grow.. into plants and they change through out the seasons..
