David McLansky Poems

Below the Sperrin Mountains
In County Tyrone
Reigned the King of the Fairies
Who sat on a throne
...

Below the Sperrin Mountains
In County Tyrone
Reigned the King of the Fairies
Who sat on a throne
...

A groundhog ate my tulip bulbs
I saw him in the morn;
Their bursting heads
Had barely blazed
...

Chasten me not
With disapproving sighs
For love’s sung words
To other eyes;
...

From a lacquered cabinet
She takes a knife,
It's polished steel
Burnished bright,
...

I have sat by the sea
Watching wave upon wave
flood the sand
As it mesmerizes me.
...

Oh sprightly bean
Disparaged Queen
Companion of
Four toes unseen
...

Out of the earth
I raised this stone
Fearing I would die unknown;
I set it in the muddy soil
...

Here lies an Angel
Returned to Heaven,
Ring you Spheres
From one to seven;
...

English being
Your second language
I do excuse
Your poetic
...
