Della Perry Poems

There are books of unread poems
On my dusty shelves
That no-one reads
Many don't know they exist at all.
...

It was so humid today
That the clap of thunder
Was like the start gun
In a horse race.
...

Vote to stay
Vote to go
It's all up to EU!
The propaganda is rife once again!
...

Curtains gap reveals
Singing starlings
No breeze
Still trees
...

What do you dream?
Are they nice, scary or funny?
What do you dream? Are they sitting, flying or runny?
Do you get chased,
...

Yow dow alf spake funnee
That's what they say to me
Those posh people at work
Weir yow from?
...

The corporation want him as a Case Study
Enjoy the dialysis of his emotions
Wean him from the breasts of destructive habits
Tired of his unenthusiastic rocking.
...

Loneliness pushes to the edge
A yearning that I cannot hide
Sad death that grows from deep within
On this silent hillside.
...

You are the red balloon whose string broke free from the seller,
Leaving the others to crowd together,
As you lift above the air currents gracefully
A floating dance,
...

The two were like jigsaw pieces
Missing pieces
Unless they ever admitted their feelings for each other
The picture would never be finished
...
