A Poem by Les Merton


convergence
 
headstones
crosses                    epitaphs
dates                          names
broken urns
praying hands
abandonment
rushes - ferns - brambles – gorse – leaves – nettles
lichen - butterflies – winged angels - snails - weeds
passed over
 generations
 
rest in peace
 
in-a-grave-above-a
soak-away-of-bones
 
 
 
Inspired by Jackson Pollock’s Convergence
 
 
 
Being creative: writing, publishing, editing, performing is a way of life for Cornishman Les Merton who lives in Redruth, Cornwall. He's just edited compiled and published Dialect Poetry an anthology of British regional dialect. He believes use it or lose it applies to all forms of dialect.
