A year's worth of poems, every week for 52 weeks, spanning 2023 and 2024, plus the year following, from August 2024 to August 2025.(provided I live that long, of course).
Thank you, Allan Charles. I've contested the Charlie Chaplin thing a couple of times, won once, if I remember correctly. But it's the kind of thing I try when bored and have nothing better to do - just doesn't seem to have happened lately.
Outside, the great, white-washed construction,
timber-hatted over brows and slotted windows
and four wide arms demonstrate directions,
proud landmark of the open fields attendant,
swinging in the summer’s wild and boisterous wind,
haughty to Quixote’s vain attack.
Inside, a clattering industry, a noise of turning,
wheels and cogs so ponderous and lumpish,
heedless in their measured track and timeless,
grind the stones in weighty grating, on and on,
fine the dust on floor and floating, bright and white
within the shafts of sunlight, specks inside the gloom.
