New Holland



A DUTCH TALE   MLMM

The Lady Of Stavoren

the dutch first came in 1606
no wealth here they said
forget it...leave it
it's a dump

the spirit  of the lady of stavoren lives on
she has got a whiff of all that coal
lying dormant in the liverpool plains
"toss the grain start digging"
she advises



now she is going to compensate
for the dutch mistake of missing out
on all those riches when it was there for the taking
by transmitting her greed
to the existing new holland government
enjoying the spoils vicariously
from her hot seat in hades

  1. A strong poem Rall. I am glad to see how you also write longer poems. This one is a beauty with very strong message.
