git

by Kristina Woodhill

two
have entered
our land
roam in search
of plunder
robbed our
pizza man
ducked into
our ditch
afraid by day
to show
their hand
houses marching
closer
dirges beat
by buildersÂ’
bands
city leaders
seeing green
too zoned
to plan

the fox is
in the chicken coop
and my baby
needs
a fine new
collared
coat

I'm posting this on the corner fence where I just noticed a flapping neon surveyor marker flag. Right after I put up my own flag that'll read in bold black'nwhite:

Yes, developers appear to be able to go where an individual must fear to tread! You've got it right! It is happening all over!

Interesting "train of thought" piece. All aboard! :o)

Git is a word I know well from my past in the UK, and this poem works well to consider political greed and some of its ramifications...nice poem to ponder over...all the best, *jewels*

Develop more, care less, be careless, emotions do count for nothing, that dern fox is sly. Fantastic, Kristina! You took a thought and ran with it by developing a poem in a category of its own that works beautifully. Love and peace, Kyle Anne

your words have so wonderfully projected a picture in my mind which I'll not soon think to efface. quite lovely they are and humbling.
