Diana Rosser Poems

Catastrophic consequences;
Fragments ripped into sentences
spit across the face of a screen.
Bewilderment meets the obscene
...

Summer's camouflage begins peeling back
Out of the blue fall melancholy notes
In unsound fields sunflower heads hang black
...

Aberrant fruits across soft fields
silently wait for errant feet
reposing in their earthly beds
left unexploded in retreat
...

A soldier was searching for the fallen
(Fields of broken stubble hid them)
In his reclaimed land
a soldier was searching for the fallen.
...

I bought a Japonica
because of ‘Naming of Parts'
Today the dark pink buds
are opening into little coral stars.
...

Dissolving inside left no
wanting or reason for time

Care had dragged her deep into
...

Carried high on broad shoulders from the church
this son who was slaughtered in a forest.
In his remains, remains nothing awake.
Gently he'll be buried underground.
...

I am looking at the pebbles
on the beach
where I poured you into the sands
Sun is glinting on the waves
...

I will never be free from sorrows,
I know that now.
If they are not mine,
they will be yours;
...

Icy winds cut the chill
held the warmth of seasons
in an iron grip
thick jumpers hung around
...
