Clive Blake Poems

Oh little mouse,
You are so small,
You are petite,
You are so cute,
...

One day I dreamed …
There was no longer any 'Third World',
Just a united 'First',
Famine clearly vanquished forever,
...

Coastline, rocky, rugged, proud,
Crumbling cliffs in ozone shroud,
Sun-kissed drifts of desert sand,
Golden frame of a sea cradled land.
...

Don't see only our disabilit-ease,
Don't deny us basic facilit-ease,
Don't ignore our many abilit-ease,
Don't compound our varied difficult-ease,
...

I'm staring at this old man,
The old man's staring back,
His eyes are dull and misty,
His skin is weathered and slack,
...

'Is there anyone for stuffing?
Well done George, send us down your plate,
Auntie, if you've finished with the cranberry sauce
Could you please pass it across to Kate? '
...

I am part of the universe
And the universe is part of me,
For whatever my body does,
My spirit will be forever free.
...

Heading into Bethlehem...
Three Wise Men,
In search of a stable.
...

Oh robin you so symbolize,
The spirit of Christmas cheer,
The chirpy way you bob about
At this festive time of year.
...

He stared at his war medals;
As bright as when first minted,
His own lustre long since tarnished;
Only tear-filled eyes now glinted!
...
