Angel of the North
Coal trucks rumbled beneath your feet
firing the rivers of V prepped tubes,
The sweat stained bowler hats of revolution
slipped away from our crown,
rotting now in derelict film sets,
behind rusty chained gates.
As apples came to eat us
we stood firm of Iron and steel,
You forged the nine orders blowing
silicone on the wind to lift our heels.
We sent ourselves in data streams
to fly with fear and dream the hope
of true belief.

Hi commentonly You are very kind, I really appreciate your comments, I feel I need to spend more time reading and commenting on others poetry before I can expect attention but I do thank you for your encouragement.
