Encouragement Poem by Chris Bunton Of all the millionsof tiny sperm cells.You were the fastest. You just so happened,to be strong enough,to penetrate an egg.

You survived a birththat could have gone bad.AndContinue reading “Your Special Life”

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 Crow, that black, black Crow,devouring seed before new life. That old Crow sees the Man on the pole.That old Crow, flies to and fro with spite.Continue reading “Scarecrow”

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.

Catamaran
A Freedom Poem By Chris Bunton They control me, hold me and crush me.Escape! Gotta go find a new land.Warm sun, watching me flee on the sea,in a beat up catamaran.
