This post reminded me of a poem I'd written some while ago about the influx of people moving into the village and the changes that they brought.<BR/><BR/>Incomers<BR/> <BR/>They come in search of blackboard skies and tinsel stars <BR/>and land stretched out like patchwork quilts,<BR/>they leave behind the mortice locks and glass secured by metal bars, <BR/>they find a place where kids can play, <BR/>where even if they roam or stray,<BR/>it causes not the heart to miss a beat.<BR/>And still more come to find this dream<BR/>and soon a matchbox town appears, to eat the land and light the sky. Now once again the bolts are placed<BR/>above the doors, <BR/>high fences mark the boundary lines<BR/>of mine and yours, <BR/>designed to keep out prying neighbours' eyes.jchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03815766140779581973noreply@blogger.com
