Hair, grey and thinning,
A face lined with memories.
Like an autumn day
Bright joy against horizon’s clouds.
...
Gently is a rain that falls,
Gentle as a tear to cheek.
Softly on bud or leaf,
So softly, to the ground.
...
I - Dawn
East explodes in light,
Dewed jewels reflecting.
Heralds call in flight.
...
I wish to go
To a place I know.
It's a little bit south of somewhere north of here.
I spent some time there long ago,
...
Poems short
May court men’s minds,
With witty puns
And pithy rhymes.
...
There is a time for rhyme,
And then there is another time.
There is a face I show,
And in another place,
...
Your seed of love is sown,
And in time will bring forth fruit,
Which you shall reap one hundred fold;
For love needs only two to grow,
...
Portrush - the summer health resort of every class and nation,
When rich and poor leave inland homes for seaside recreation;
The broad Atlantic laves thy shores, where vessels tempest tost
Seek refuge in the Skerries Road, upon thy northern coast.
...
Muffled voices cease,
Pages are turned,
Silent pens slide,
Chased by thoughts slithering across faintly lined pages.
...
I - Breezes
Chattering of birds,
The wind plays with fallen leaves,
Softly spoken words.
...
