Douglas Scotney Poems

Out of their mockers
they made gauche players
and charged their own mockery
and their mockers'.
...

Feeling great
from elements brought together well,
yet wanting to have feeling
without elements brought together well.
...

Freedom tapered or banged into progress towards control,
the more we had of which
the less we had of
Freedom,
...

Humorous representations of life
(not the barely possible,
but
impossible scenarios,
...

In his company Joanna laughed:
Clear she thought that he was daft
When he heard the mountains laughing
In his ravishment of mind.
...

As Helios began to rise
Fat woman rose to feet,
Shuffled out for air:
Fiddledy fie for the trains of thought
...

As lax is short for loose
can a goose be a gax?

Can a guy called Max
...

I am a careful man,
knows there's plenty in the least,
danger in the feast,
wants to start again,
...

I never knew what love was
When I hadn't loved at all.
Once I loved I knew it
And knew that I would always love
...
