Where Unhappiness Once Was There Is Now Music
Found Poem from Ancient Twenty First Century Folklore by Mike Singleton.
'Found Poem' from Ancient Twenty First Century Folklore by Mike Singleton. I used a rough formula of the ninth page, ninth sentance then nine words but that ended up incredibly rough! This is a beautiful book. It feels comforting to read and I think we all need a bit of that currently!
Where unhappiness once was
there is now music
That night the girl dressed in
red brought
The helpful mouse the lantern
To light a gift from a water nymph.
The night was dark
The stolen moon
Was not strong.
