David Keig Poems

With spring the seasons start anew
The cycle starts again
As each fresh shoot begins to show
...

What’s your mobile number?
I’ll call you later when
Things are not so busy
Now, just where is my pen?
...

We search amongst the stars for life
Like moths forever seeking light
We cannot bear just being alone
Beam me! Beam me! Scottie! Home!
...

I killed them one by one
methodically
never looking in their eyes
gun to the head
...

One hundred thousand marching
One hundred thousand men
One hundred thousand heading
To a place and a time when
...

There's a new sign in Australia
That's there for all to see
It informs the population
When a beach is riot-free
...

Just a little homily to go along with three other poems i have posted just now for armistice day.....


There is no magic secret hidden
...

In this information age with data everywhere
And mobile phones and wireless sending signals through the air
Its so easy to believe that what we know is what's retrieved
From endless browsing searches and data base machines
...

They came in as gentle women
Of uncertain middle age
A few drinks once inside them
Seemed to summon up some rage
...

When thoughts are idle wanderings
Words tumbled round and round
When feelings they turn inwardly
Still I hear the piper's sound.
