Better new kindling
...

Hopes – that soar –
like kites in wind -
above the truth –
with wishes – twisting
...

Like a favourite vase,
newly washed, saying
I'm beautiful as I am,
empty yet shining,
...

and there was this one
which I was particularly proud of
where I thought I’d caught
just the right pace, then
...

Your box of brand-new football boots
this European season, where the diktat from Brussels sprouts hurhur,
will bear the helpful message
'Average contents: two'...
...

The test is constancy –
the proof, the constant heart.

See that pair who walk across the park -
...

No-one knew what subsequently became of her
after he went so dramatically, and after all those goings-on.
He got all the headlines.
The police didn't even bother
...

i think it's really wonderful
that with all the million poems on this net
people find their way to read what each of us has read
or written.
...

You…leave…the…
Pennsylvania classroom at a
quarter to four..
leaving all your Bio. notes
...
