Beyond the writing on the wall\r\nThere is brick and crumbling mortar\r\nA sycamore stubbornly clings\r\nWell, it took such a mighty effort to grow roots\r\nMoss, on the other hand, seethes insidiously, in perpetuity\r\nIt survives even the most hostile of environments\r\n\r\nOld Magic, the Goddess smiles\r\nMother Earth will ensure the wall will fall\r\nBut what will it reveal\r\nA field of golden buttercups\r\nHawthorn caught up infernal bine \r\nOr land dead and polluted by indifference\r\n\r\nIs there a clue in the writing \r\nIs our future writ large \r\nBit like the dyslexic lovers we are\r\nWe only read what we want to read\r\nAnd go hang reality, go hang truth<\/strong><\/pre>\nDoves, of all creatures alight,\r\nAbove the keystone and the founders plaque\r\nWeathered almost away, I read\r\n'This have I, Wall, my part discharged so,\r\nand being, done, thus wall away doth go.'\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/strong><\/pre>\nThis poem is copyright of the author and appears by permission, and for the sole purpose of the marketing and promotion of, The Poetic Bond III, prior to publication on 30th September. \u00a0All rights reserved; all applications for use in any media should be addressed to the author, and all applications for use in any media of this poem in conjunction, or in connection with, The Poetic Bond III, in any media, should be addressed to Willowdown Books.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/a>Trevor Maynard<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0Author of two poetry collections “Keep on Keepin’ On” and “Love, Death and the War on Terror”, a collection of one-act plays “Four Truths” as well as the plays “GLASS” and “From Pillow to Post”.

The Poetic Bond is about exploring, sharing and encouraging poetry from all over the world.<\/p>\n
Thirty-six poets from 11 countries were selected through a submission process in which there were no restrictions on form, style, length of subject; instead the choices made were on the basis of emergent themes and congruency in the pool of work; a snapshot of the poetry of new media NOW, seeking to capture the zeitgeist of the moment.<\/p>\n
