John Knight Poems

This Poem is dedicated to everyone
who thinks their Town or Village
closes down in Winter!
...

Crisp Winter, final season of the year,
Comes suddenly when awesome Autumn's past
The frost makes Winter mornings bright and clear,
But fosters Winter's biting icey blasts.
...

When God made birds He made them very special
Their domain like His - the bright blue sky
Gliding very smoothly on their thermals
Envy of men - until we learned to fly.
...

Trees in the Winter lose their leaves
Their Autumn glory blows away,
The ground their mulch and mor receives
As in the wind bare branches sway.

H appiness is catching - happiness is good

SEILTANZER (Tightrope Walker)

I had a friend - called Alan Stalker
Who was a fearless tightrope walker
...

Thank you for the sun and showers
Thank you for the Springtime flowers
Thank you for the lambs that bleat
Thank you for the fields so neat.

This poem is dedicated to ALL THE LONELY PEOPLE. It is also dedicated to those who are not lonely but crave THE SOUND OF SILENCE in a World where CHURCH BELLS have been replaced by DECIBELS!

I am never really alone in the 21st Century
Consequently I am a stranger to solitude.
...

Every life is special - each life is unique
We're all born with a purpose and with grace
No man is and island - we are joined as one
In family in communion and in place

This is a 'Flowing Acrostic' in which he narrative picks up the acrostical words - while at the same time maintaining the metre with lines of approximately co-syllabic. This gives the poem flow and balance.
