When a young man who liked nostalgia
Developed a very bad case of neuralgia,
He consulted a sage
From a previous age,
Who cured him of all his nostalgia!

Cultural Debris
A defense of high culture and ordered liberty by Russell Kirk, https://kirkcenter.org/kirk-essays/kirk-essay-cultural-debris/.
Kirk was a defender of traditional Conservatism and an American. I very much doubt however that he has been read by Donald Trump or (if he has) that the President would understand Kirk.
Bowed
A tree branch, bowed
Half blocked the track.
I did not turn back
But ducked under.
There it stands,
Guarding the path.
Bowed by the recent wind.
Nature will have the last laugh,
Whether this tree
Outlasts me,
Or no.

Found a girl’s shoes under their bed

“I really don’t know why,
You must insist on wearing those, Ted!”.
I Dreamed of Homer

And of Odysseus the roamer,
And a wine red sea.
But awoke to this Modernity.
When A Wealthy Elderly Lady Named Leigh
When a wealthy elderly lady named Leigh
Said, “I shall patronise your poetry”.
And I said, “oh, that means money!”,

Whilst Climbing Up An Extremely Tall Tower
Whilst climbing up an extremely tall tower
I saw a lady in a shower.
I said to her,
“Is your name Claire?”.
She said, “no! and vacate this shower!”.
The Song of the Wind
The wind gusts.
Human lusts
Are strong.
But, as I sit in my home,
I remember long
Gone Rome.
And listen to the eternal sing,
Of the gusting wind.
K Morris - Poet
