Daily Micro: Yesterday’s Artists in Today’s World ~ John Keats

Acknowledging John (Keats)

Ol’ Robin listen ye hear

Strange these days strange

Cannot ye people buy honey

Without hard money

 

Grinding the people down

The Sheriff

The taxmen

The wicked that lend

 

Gather up Little John

Robin and your old bow-string

Gather up Friar Tuck

Robin and your bugle-horn

Gather up ye merry men

Robin and archer keen

 

Sleep in the underwood

Protector of the people

Hunt the Sheriff down

 

Lay in Orion’s glen

Kissing Maid Marian

The lovelady’s kiss

On Mid-summer night

Damning dimming light

 

~ Stephen J. Bergstrom
