This piece was inspired by British children's writers William Mayne and Alan Garner...two brilliant writers with an amazing sense of place, dialect, and language.
It war a lar larky whimble
Shrouded ten brick high wandin' sor-west
Table roun' drinkin por soppy
Drop stenched
And da flies dancin' himmel
Nowt ofer
Larfin' tin whistle
Nowt in tin
Bar up da korner
Shadow shack gon
Livered shy roun' blister bent
Up da bedpost an bye
Dreamin'
Bluelarked
Blundergone.
