ivor or ivor.e hogg Poems

When I was born I had no choice
whether to protest or rejoice.
I was evicted forcefully
for no good reason I could see.
...

I guarantee that you can be
from this day forth quite vampire free..
Don’t turn away, listen to me
It is quite free there is no fee.
...

When Autumn comes promising gain.
This bounty we will gratefully accept.
The fruits of our hard labours we expect
assisted by the sunshine and the rain.
...

Posers and a poseur

The “ Princess” came from peasant stock
Which some would find to be a shock.
...

The veils grow thin on all souls eve
and vengeful ghosts are free to leave.
The kingdom of eternal night
to seek revenge and vent their spite.
...

Polysyllabic complexity

Polysyllabic words afford me great hilarity
Especially used improperly
...

I do not fear the dark, my eyes
adjust so that I can see.
The beauties which would otherwise
be hidden by the night from me.
...

I comprehend eternity.
A moment which infinitely
embraces instantaneously
All that is and will come to be.
...

Beauty in Black and white

The trees are now of leaves bereft.
Stark silhouettes against the sky
...

Bureaucracy has quietly
displaced the aristocracy.
Who wielded power openly
The bureaucrat rule secretly.
