The Man From Locksley
Marians made to work inside
while sheriffs roam in Armani
through forests of towers
shards and spires,
but where is the one from Locksley?
Perchance his quiver is full,
distracted, he sates elsewhere,
while the city in torpor despairs
unrequited the Lincoln green.

Interesting take on the Robin Hood tales – some myths never die, they just warp.

Like me, completely warped 🙂 but I do agree, they keep going and warping as you say.

“warp” wasn’t quite the right word, but my head won’t let me access any other, lol.

I used to sing the old Beatles song Walrus as I am the Warp Man 🙂 lol, but if you take it as a weaving term then warp works to build a story.

When legends become metaphors
PV’s poetry came alive
Anger and sadness the undercurrent
Contemporary survival skills
this poet has plenty.
IMHO – my humble take. Regards. Jay
