book versus poem

[cacian]

assign a book you have read a poem you make here.

here is one I made earlier

Jane Eyre

pale
against the moors that
ruled
love traverses dales
to the peaks of hail
to overcome
pain and
reinstate sane
it is thus
wilderness poors
to happiness cures
a journey of sures



over to you

[fajfall]

The novel Basti, by Intizar Hussein:

India
The partition
Birth and mutilation
Refuge in the west!
Struggle, kindness, cramped, optimism
Where now Pakistan? Again we go
Bangladesh, birth and mutilation, rape and execution
The mice have moved on, everyone is different, again,
My other half, I feel her but never touched her, in India she works

[PeterL]

Studies in Causation:
MEMOIRS OF A TIME TRAVELLER
An as yet unpublished novel by me


Where It is all Maya. Unclassified:
Confession to Mary, who is
Selling and banking into the future Banking
And Coronavirus completes the scene.
Diamonds, duplication,Tartessian
Gold in Custody of a Separate
Reality with Paradoxical son,
And equally unlikely Grandfather.
Which all led to the Assassination
Of JFK, but not by a Phantom.
Creating a High Tech Powerhouse, then
Murder by Le Petit Rhone, which
Led to the Really Great Pandemic.
That required Rebuilding the World
Struldbrugs were despoiled then Bugging Out
To Terraformed Planet, but that’s not New Earth.
