Benjamin Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Grey squirrels-- after eighty years; usurped officially the fiefdom of our Red. And footpaths through the ever shrinking woods are asphalt, for the pram-faced girls and skate board boys; whose pocket-knife obscenities demean donated bench memorials. Chancers arise! And when the shouting's done our Spring is back, with a resilience of daffodils; that peer into the wind as though they have some other place to be.

fdelano Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 And footpaths through our ever shrinking woods are asphalt, for the pram-faced girls and skate board boys; whose pocket-knife obscenities demean donated bench memorials. A generational gap widening, values discarded, nothing respected. No doubt past generations thought the same. Wonderfully expressed.

Frank E Gibbard Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Beautifully sums up the generational deterioration in youth , what some call chavvy types sadly abound from your apt description, and so well put. Loved pram-faced phrase. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 How well crafted! An intriguing title qualified with ten lines of impeccable meter to yield a conceit that's not too long, not too short, just right, perfect.
