Douglas Scotney Poems

After a bit
of cheese
I was slicing
fell on the floor.
...

Wear and wen
a pome hazn't much
ov a chairns or charns,
a stylish won haz less
...

I saw a bee
go right down in
a fabulous cactus flower.
...

Playing with my head
is a word I found in Robert Herrick (1591-1674) .
The word is 'respasses';
what does it mean and how is it said?
...

has a few of its leaves
go yellow well before fall -
while its fruit ripens, in fact.
...

if he or she isn't that already,
is that the cultivator of a papaya tree,
the leaf of which is a long-fingered hand on a mincy wrist,
should be called a papayatrist.
...

Sentiment
Sent him back from trance
For a time
That would prove quite short
...

Lovers know,
In remainders of the dead,
In confusion of unnumbered sound,
Solace in the head,
...

Up high on a mount,
in the face of all,
parts are small
that loom large
...

Viler than any of night
are the horrors
of the gloom of GREY daylight,
when you glimpse the legs and hair
...
