CLOUDBURST COUNCIL POEM ALAN CASLINE

PLACE MARKET PLACE AT THE GATHERING

                     from a few hills down

his friends and town seek

  the help he needs

             to overcome chaos

              to arrange

              to initiate

  a song afresh

        a profusion of outlook

welcomes inspiration

               yet working the known

                 means you cannot  listen

  for the new

                     night frost melts

                   wet dew drops hang

in morning air a gentleman

         stands

his cold hut newly thatched

   thus he always begins his day

  yet once he  heard a way out

              music’s objects of inner

   sound flow

   (unknown still elements)

                 unite or separate

                    both to be able

            yet there must be one

at the beginning

  (some difficulty)

                            Alan Casline
