Della Perry Poems

She was allowed to buy the alcoholic drinks from the bar
She was eighteen, England is lower to buy booze,
She held the tall glasses with a multitude of colours in front of my jealous eyes each evening in the club,
She, smiling falsely, teasing me,
...

Pens, pencils and plain paper
Pencil case and paper clips
Desk with a dictionary
Cup of tea and stripy ties
...

Pencil pusher
Rule setter
Education sharer
Quick thinker
...

Bouncy Bug likes the letter B
He bounces up and down
And sings this bouncy ballad;
...

I bought a trolley
An old lady shopping trolley
So that I could carry my heavy food
Without my arms aching
...

Silently, slumber awaits,
Serenely patient,
Makes a change.
Tired and weary,
...

To love, hidden, screened,
Nets of silk, coverings of sheets,
Look, but not to touch.
Smooth, real but not to ever possess.
...

Maggie Hambling,
Sketched her mother in the coffin,
Suppose that's something that artist's do!
Me, well, I'll play cello and paint her face like a clowns
...

Love hugger
Sweet giver
Film watcher
Flower lover
...

Breakfast maker
Tea stirrer
Bed maker
Room tidier
...
