Three Hundred Words
"''Three Hundred Words''" is a poem that showcases a number of Roy Harper's literary techniques and characteristics.
According to Harper's spoken introduction on his 1992 Live album, ''Born in Captivity II'', (re-released in 1993 as ''Unhinged'') "Three Hundred Words" was written for a benefit concert for Lancashire batsman, Graeme Fowler. It not only concerns one of Harper's most oft-cited loves, cricket (see "When An Old Cricketer Leaves The Crease", on the album ''HQ''), it also picks up the themes of England, combining historical reminiscences with current events, using minor observations to make major (political) statements, breaking rhymes across lines, and using clever mixed metaphors. It is, therefore, quintessentially Harper.

:as Ramadhin, Weekes and Frank Worrell all scored...
