Leaves turn brown
‘Ere they fall
To waiting ground.
I heard
A bird’s
Alarm call.
Autumn will become
Winter. The sun
Will burn out.
Some still shout
Of human progress
While leaves fall.

Went out drinking all night,
And there was something wrong with the ale!”.
Art
The dark
Does fight
With the light
In my heart.
For art
Comes from dark
And light.

Isn’t free.
At night
Students learn
To turn
Their looks
Into books

In the biblical sense
Many young women.
I make no pretence
That their names
Where all known.
Modern Art

As the Autumn Weather Grows Colder
As the autumn weather grows colder,
And I older,
The thought of warm bed clothes
With a Kate,
Or a rose
Still appeals.
I have known heels
To measure
My pleasure.
But pleasure passes,
For rakes and lasses,
And the graveyard grasses
Claim our name.

Whose known for his charity to Lou …!
