Christopher Tye Poems

Convent

Cloistered courtyards,
Old traditions of piousness,
...

I Am The Best

Invincible self-belief.
...

Fabled

Fabled heroes needed now in a world in turmoil,
As civilisation teeters on the edge of an abyss,
...

Soggy

Soggy bottoms on damp park benches,
Old English tradition of soggy cucumber sandwiches,
...

Spray

Spraying every crop in sight,
Pesticides decimating wildlife,
...

Chess

Checkmate for a king is the end,
High and mighty queens taking everything in their path,
...

Captain Jack

My life knows no limits,
I am what I am therefore I live life,
...

Sleeve

Shirt sleeves rolled up for work,
Long sleeves always covering my hands,
...

Hamlet

Hamlets of rural England,
A few houses in the middle of nowhere,
...

Centre

Controlled by central government,
England's green and pleasant land no more,
...
