ivor or ivor.e hogg Poems

In dreams I travel where I will.
Although I do not have the skill
to dictate where I want to go
Some people can do this I know.
...

Long, long ago as poets know.
A sonnet was a little song
without rules you had to follow.
There was no way you could go wrong.
...

The fairy dust Jack Frost has cast
across the rooftops liberally.
Now twinkles in the orange glow
Recalling scenes from long ago.
...

I fear the sound of booted feet.
They inspire painful memories
though fragmented and incomplete
I can recall so vividly
...

She was pretty clean and neat
from her head to her bare feet.
The kind of girl to whom I cater.
She looked good enough to eat.
...

The right attitude

I do not fear the night
although deprived of sight, I know
...

The softly sighing sea it seems
surreptitiously alters dreams.
Subconsciously the ebb and flow
of surging tides which come and go.
...

What is the truth? No man can say
Each sees it in a different way.
My truth may not be true for you
Yours may differ from mine too
...

No moon tonight, no stars in view.
The darkness rules triumphantly
There’s nothing left for us to do
but ignite the gas, create light.
...

Nobody cares, nobody dares.
Show sympathy to such as me.
I’m just a bum, an unwelcome
reminder that you too may com.
