to pete on lent

http://theydontmakemodernartliketheyusedto.blogspot.com/2009/05/unseasonal-austerity.html - (a to and fro perhaps)

leanings and leadings

your poem put me in

mind of my wasted lent

so stealing your rhymes

i'll post brief lament:

oh my wasted lent

was unspent and mis-spent

so unlearnt and unkempt

i failed dreams dreamt

of breaking idols once bent

oh help me Lord please

to re-lent

siblings

siblings

sought and lost

bought at cost

and fraught for

who made me me

and i we them

our sympathies

belie more

i have two

who for them i

would wish to

do or die for
