so much royalty,then, now, reduced
to scarecrows, in
evitable dynastic
collapse to so
much straw -
yet one hearing voice off
stage forged
them on - no
forgery, words so
minted fly with strength
of crazed crows
defying scarecrows -
their virtue vivid in
face of,filling stage dissolving
hushed
posturing
If I was a crow, I'd be very afraid! These are great finds, Ms M.
Thoughtful poem, Anon. Hushed, posturing straw people....
Hi Shell: These are part of the garden's Scarecrow Stroll, historical characters. Probably too much history for the crows!
What a neat tradition. Sounds like a lot of fun.
It's a fun tradition. I've never made a scarecrow, but we liked taking the Scarecrow Stroll. (Scarecrow Stroll sounds like a dance, doesn't it??)
This is brilliant. If I were energetic and artsy-crafty, I'd make myself an Anne. We do have a house of horrors in Altadena. The guy who lives there is a Hollywood set decorator and Halloween is obviously his favorite holiday. I'll post something this year.
Yay! Those are so much fun, Ms.M.
And I must say, Anon's poem describes the current royal family to a tee. Wonderful!
Karin, I hope you do post photos from your local house of horrors. The scarecrows are great - and I've just posted a sample. I'll put a few more up here and there.
Hi Dive, they are fun. Anon's very honored that his poem so accurately describes the Royal Family ;-)
