Ron the Poet

When a poet whose name was Ron

Said “my poetry will surely live on”.

An old man called Brian

Warned him of a lion,

Which devoured all his poetry and Ron.

Foxes

I yawn

In the early morn.

A bark

Pierces the dark.

The carpet is warm

Against my bare

Feet. While out there

The fox’s word

Is heard

Ere I sleep.

Dangerous Neil

When a dangerous young man named Neil

Said, “you’re going to feel cold steel!”,

A brave girl called Jagger

Grabbed hold of that dagger,

And I composed a poem about Neil …!

The Air is Fresh

The air is fresh

After a warm day.

I thrive

In this spring air.

And wonder

Whether those below

Ever walked by

Where they now lie.

The Poet’s Mind

In the wood’s heart

There is light

And there is dark.

The poet finds

Delight

With woodland

Nymphs.

For girls

Of the mind

Are never bland.

 

I Met a Monster in My Dream

I met a monster in my dream

Who said, “aren’t you going to scream!”.

I said, “no, not really

As I can see clearly

That you sir are only a dream!”.

The Aristocratic Old Ghost

When I found a most aristocratic  old ghost

In my kitchen stuffing his mouth with toast,

And he said, “I’m an aristocrat!”,

I said, “I can see that !

And you’re stuffing your mouth with my toast!”.

Birds on a Spring Evening

On leaving

The half-empty pub

On a spring

Evening, I heard birdsong.

I love

These chill

Nights , when the trill

Of birds is heard

On the still

Street. Their unconscious art

Calls to my sad

Glad heart.

It was always so.

And I know

Their song will remain

Until I gain

The churchyard path

Where all must pass.
