When a young lady named Lake
Leapt out of my birthday cake,
I said, “you are witty
And more than just pretty,
And you have ruined my cake!”

We Love the Wood
We love the wood
By day
And take our delight
In glades.
But when light fades
And day
Is swallowed by night
Fears play.
While Drunk on the Finest Old Wine
While drunk on the finest old wine
I spied a young lady most Divine.
Her name it is Miss Spink
And she gave me a wink,
But perhaps that was merely the wine …!
She Took Her Headscarf Off
She took her headscarf off.
There was no real affair,
Just a loss
Of her cloth,
And gloss
Coming off …
The Eternal Breeze
Women and wine
Are sometimes divine.
But the eternal breeze
Shakes leaves from trees
And poets know
All must go
Save the breeze.

I Have Taken Fish
I have taken fish
From ponds where poor vultures
Feed out of sight.
I Know a Young Barmaid Named Lou
I know a young barmaid named Lou
Who pours beer through her favourite shoe.
I have a fetish
For Flair’s wet lettuce,
But the vicar he loves Lou’s shoe!
Just for the Record, Poems From a Time of Covid
I am pleased to announce that several of my poems have been included in “Just for the Record, Poems From a Time of Covid”.
Book Description
The Croydon Poetry Hour, was founded some years ago by Debby Grayson as a loose, inclusive network of people who meet regularly for the sheer pleasure of sharing the poems they have written, usually on a theme. During the Corona virus pandemic of 2020 – 2022, we did not set out to write about its impact as a group, but individually we produced poems arising out of our personal experiences, fears and hopes. The poems were written in a variety of styles and are evidence of the creativity that flows from giving poetry a try.
Where to Buy
“Just for the Record, Poems From a Time of Covid” is available for £2.20 from Lulu and can be found here, https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/croydon-poets/just-for-the-record/paperback/product-d2w5wq.html?page=1&pageSize=4
