A response to Scott Coe’s #Syntax Poetry Festival Prompt
You can’t call it a school
I don’t see blackboards, I don’t see books
Drills , Hammers and Saws make up the look
creative types – making things from wood
or metal and plastic – if they think they should
learning the skills of a noble craft
creating hooks for the cloakrooms in th’aft
what is the achievement ? summat to hang on the wall
something flashy and colourful – for a designer to call
and designed and created in appropriate time
and housed in a home – something flashy, sublime
