ivor or ivor.e hogg Poems

I am not a religious man
I place my faith and loyalty.
Like any other football fan.
In the demi -gods I see.
...

When moonlight filters through the trees.
I sometimes hear sweet melodies.
Carried towards me on the breeze.
Music guaranteed to please.
...

My morning stroll, a search for signs of spring.
The sun is bright although the temperature is low
But has been lower throughout the long night
Beneath the trees the grass is frosted white.
...

Sometimes it’s wise to hesitate
And choose to look before you leap.
There is no point in tempting fate.
You may just find the price too steep.
...

The slowly burning logs inspire.
Half forgotten memories.
Moving pictures in the fire.
Recalling scenes from the past with ease.
...

She smiles at him seductively
And he reacts instinctively.
Mother Nature still employs.
Her oldest most successful ploys.
...

I do not like your attitude.
I find you arrogant and crude.
In fact in my opinion
You are much cruder than anyone.
...

I rose before the sun today
And slowly walking made my way.
Down to the shore where I could see.
The waves that roll in endlessly.
...

I may be growing paranoid.
I find it better to avoid.
Those members of the human race.
Who rudely intrude on my space
...

The air raid sirens wailing cry.
Search lights criss crossing in the sky
Searching for the enemy
That we can hear but cannot see.
...
