Scarecrow
Spirit Rhyme by Chris Bunton Out of the hand of that ancient man,the Raven flew to and fro. Over a devastated land,washed clean, for new darkness to grow.

That 80’s Night
Poem by Chris Bunton It was a dark nightat the end of the 80s When we partied like fools,in a demon filled rage. Young and dumb and alive forever;flying down back roads like banshees high.
