The Black Forest Poem by Merlin Isombard Ven Trout

The Black Forest



All roads lead to Hampshire
and the black forest looms ahead;
the vaulted canopies arch
and birds twitter like pensioners -
all is calm and serene at dusk.

As the moon rises I hold it
in my hands: cupping it softly
and drinking of its milky sweetness.
The eagle spreads its wings
and cries to the godess of the wood -

Hampshire, hampshire, hampshire!

Echoes of John Clare, je pense? Hampshire so feelingly personated! Kipling eat your imperialist fascist heart out! Let's go!
