Birds and Men

I leave the pub behind

And find

In the song of birds

The truth not heard

In the words

Of men

Who prate and hate.

 

 

So I listen to birds

And purifying rain

For there is no hate

In birds or rain.

My Poetry T Shirt

I have recently created a poetry t shirt, which shows my poem ‘Fallen Blossom’ :

I found
Blossom on the ground.
Which brought
To mind the thought,
We all,
As the blossom, fall.

The t shirt was manufactured by a company called Fluid Branding.

Fallen Blossom can be found in my collection, More Poetic Meanderings which is available in Kindle and Paperback from Amazon.

A Summer Butterfly

A butterfly
On a
Sunny day
Flew by
My Labrador.
A snap of jaw.
And our summer chat
Of this and that.

All things must die
As the summer butterfly.
Death’s jaws will close
On man and rose.
You and I
Are but butterflies
Who love and laugh
And then must pass.

Safe in My Place

Safe in my place
I hear foxes bark
In the autumn dark.

In this semi-urban space
The foxes laugh and say
All this will pass away.

Under Nature’s Great Roof

Under nature’s great roof
I feel the truth
In wind and rain.

When I am gone
I shall be one
With wind and rain.
