Charlotte Peters Rock - Poetry: Lapis lazuli
http://charlottepetersrockpoetry.blogspot.com/2007/11/lapis-lazuli.html
Charlotte Peters Rock - Poetry. Tuesday, 20 November 2007. Spread as far as Cleopatra. Blue to contrast with her scarab stones. Guarding the ancient throne of Egypt. Along the Silk Road. Alexander's elephants hauled its precious weight. Blue as the skies it touched. In steady daylight moving West. Gleaming blue it glows along the ceiling. Of the Sistine Chapel and. Across the world where paintings. By Michelangelo and da Vinci. Are prized for beauty and inventiveness. Six thousand years of labour.

Charlotte Peters Rock - Songs: Cranage Airmen - Defenders of Peace
http://charlottepetersrocksongs.blogspot.com/2007/11/cranage-airmen-defenders-of-peace.html
Charlotte Peters Rock - Songs. Wednesday, 14 November 2007. Cranage Airmen - Defenders of Peace. They flew over Liverpool. In clouds of smoke. And flowers of flame. They flew over Liverpool. To keep us safe. They played the game. But it was no game at all. Their lives floating high. Dying to save us all. They fell from the sky. They came from across the earth. To win the world war. Showing what they were worth. In Liverpool people saw. Those men in their ariel war. To lift their despair. To keep us safe.

Charlotte Peters Rock - Songs: Ritalin Johnnie
http://charlottepetersrocksongs.blogspot.com/2007/11/ritalin-johnnie.html
Charlotte Peters Rock - Songs. Wednesday, 14 November 2007. He was a bright lad little Johnnie. And he ran around the room. His head was always full of ideas. He was a bright lad little Johnnie. And he ran around the room. Now Johnnie doesn't run any more. Johnnie used to play his games alone. He counted toes and gurgled at the moon. He bounced around his dinner. And he set the world alight. He woke up every morning far too soon. Johnnie used to run to feed the ducks. He ran into the water and he stood.

Charlotte Peters Rock - Songs: Col-Sgt P Humphreys CGC (Conspicuous Gallantry Cross - Bosnia 1995)
http://charlottepetersrocksongs.blogspot.com/2007/11/col-sgt-p-humphreys-cgc-conspicuous.html
Charlotte Peters Rock - Songs. Wednesday, 14 November 2007. Col-Sgt P Humphreys CGC (Conspicuous Gallantry Cross - Bosnia 1995). Over the top it wasn’t. They never were down in a trench. Their Saxons were out in the open. And there was no place to re-trench. It’s a curious job - this policing. The whole population needs calm. To get on with strange-normal living. You’re there to see they take no harm. Sgt Humphreys was out in Gorazde. Not fighting but keeping things calm. The Bosnian snipers were killing.

Charlotte Peters Rock - Songs: Salacious Urban Fish
http://charlottepetersrocksongs.blogspot.com/2007/11/salacious-urban-fish.html
Charlotte Peters Rock - Songs. Wednesday, 14 November 2007. Is a tasty little dish. Made mostly out of wishes to the contrary. Swum mainly in despair. Collecting lies and scaring out the century. But Oh the fish. Expected life was good. Connected to the universe (rpt). Salacious urban fish'is a tasty little dish. Made mostly out of wishes to the contrary. Spreading mythic cashfrom credit driven stache. Acquiring fashion clashing dull accessory. Salacious urban fish'is a tasty little dish. But Oh the fish.

Charlotte Peters Rock - Songs: The Gander
http://charlottepetersrocksongs.blogspot.com/2007/11/gander.html
Charlotte Peters Rock - Songs. Wednesday, 14 November 2007. And the boys chase the gander. Out of time and far from home. And the boys chase the gander. In the green field (rpt). They go to school in some strange land. And learn to speak the language. The language of the schoolyard. They go back to the old folks home. And watch the television. And sometimes it shows battles. At week-ends they are taken out. To Camelot and swimming. Where everyone is laughing. They wonder when they'll go back home.

Charlotte Peters Rock - Songs: Forgotten People
http://charlottepetersrocksongs.blogspot.com/2007/11/forgotten-people.html
Charlotte Peters Rock - Songs. Wednesday, 14 November 2007. The storage rooms of Liverpool. The terraces and high rise places. Stock the people found alone in death. They're picked up two or three a month. From terraces and high rise places. Forgotten people found alone in death. And no one here knows who they are. The terraces and high rise places. Hide the people found alone in death. No paper proof nor relative. In terraces and high rise places. Forgotten people found alone in death.

Charlotte Peters Rock - Songs: PQ-17 to Murmansk - 1942
http://charlottepetersrocksongs.blogspot.com/2007/11/pq-17-to-murmansk-1942.html
Charlotte Peters Rock - Songs. Wednesday, 14 November 2007. PQ-17 to Murmansk - 1942. In 1942 - in June - the merchant ships formed up. Loaded to the gunnels with their planes and guns and tanks. Enough to serve an army - 50,000 in the field. The PQ - 17 formed up in ranks. Fifty-six from Rekyavik - nine columns in the sea. Thirty-five were merchantmen - the rest their guardian fleet. Seven knots - or eight - with planes and u-boats looking on. Crossed QP - 13's returning beat. Washington and high explos...

Charlotte Peters Rock - Songs: Our Bloody Language
http://charlottepetersrocksongs.blogspot.com/2007/11/our-bloody-language.html
Charlotte Peters Rock - Songs. Wednesday, 14 November 2007. Ah the Gaels all call it Derry. But we English won't play fair. An it's in our bloody language that it's altered. An it's in our bloody language that it's altered. Now we English had an Empire. It's jsut Ulster now that's left. An their city's Londonderry in our language. An it's in our bloody language that it's altered. When the Vikings came to Derry. Their long seige was hard to fight. Then their second city flourished. To the London City men.
