A Dry stone Waller<\/p>\n
standing true<\/p>\n
A precise and local art form<\/p>\n
View<\/p>\n
those local stones
\ntradition rules<\/p>\n
intelligence as culture calls<\/p>\n
dressing and placement<\/p>\n
working outside<\/p>\n
it feels to me<\/p>\n
those who confide<\/p>\n
Of porosity and lasting power<\/p>\n
compression wise<\/p>\n
With each passing hour<\/p>\n
frost<\/p>\n
resistance<\/p>\n
too it seems<\/p>\n
the builders heartfelt way<\/p>\n
redeems<\/p>\n
his strength and purpose<\/p>\n
naturally<\/p>\n
ashlar or rubble<\/p>\n
powerfully<\/p>\n
Self supported seemingly<\/p>\n
alliteration honestly<\/p>\n
visually attractive<\/p>\n
to the eye<\/p>\n
Puzzling \u00a0those who \u00a0do apply<\/p>\n
Their rural crafts and wisdom, they<\/p>\n
where plants \u00a0thrive<\/p>\n
building every day<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
a medium exceptionally<\/p>\n
a local craft bound to survive<\/p>\n
Rural crafts apparently<\/p>\n
use is made conceptually<\/p>\n
a living art form standing bold<\/p>\n
brought to life \u00a0it\u2019s stories told<\/p>\n
of igneous rocks \u00a0of belching fire<\/p>\n
of fields \u00a0of stone<\/p>\n
yes they do perspire<\/p>\n
in Summers heat<\/p>\n
in Winters wet<\/p>\n
That\u2019s most dry stone wallers<\/p>\n
that I have met.<\/p>\n
