Margery Rehman Poems

Like brilliant diamonds in the skies
Is the sparkle in Naomi's eyes
Gleaming from beneath straight brows
In a sculptured classic face that tries
...

Chiara Sophia comes through the door
Does a cartwheel on the floor
Over and over, upside down
And downside up she turns around,
...

A sense of peace and balance.
A pattern with a darkening sky.
Three disconnected clouds fly by
As if forgotten
...

Far away and elsewhere
Is a place we do not dare
To go alone
For there the leopard and the tiger
...

Life hangs in a vacuum.
Hesitant to plan anything
Go to town, invite friends to dropp in,
We get on with our tedious routine
...

An open space, pitted with ditches,
Jagged places, filled with debris.
We were warned not to play there
But what child could resist it?
...

I'm trying
I'm really trying
But all my thoughts
In words go flying.
...

When the world was new,
Or so it seemed to us
When we were very young,
We met and loved.
...

No one could fathom the reason
My grandmother's cat was called Fluff
For this was a short haired moggy,
A close-cropped, crew-cut scruff.
...

Pretty demoiselles
In flowered summer dress
Adventurous young men
Shyly forward press
...
