Michael Shepherd Poems

It should be so obvious:
all the ‘eternal values’ which we may see
as worthwhile in our life –
these, we share with those who’ve gone before..
...

Yes you,
the one who’s noisy when
he’s here which isn’t so very often -
you’ll never believe it but
...

What are you looking at, this moment? ..
You can answer this question?
...

The honest man, it's said,

does exactly as he says,
...

‘A golden evening; and we watched
the sun sink slowly below the horizon
like a golden dime
into a flaming jukebox’..
...

A celebration of the grace
of the past, or
a celebration of the grace
of today?
...

The joy of truth is
that it can be funnier,
crazier,
than fiction.
...

This peach
that I’ve just eaten,
been graced by,
been blessed by,
...

Ooh! Ow! ...I'm a victim! ...I've got a psychic scar! ...

not in my schooldays,
I have to say;
...

I gave my father seven years
of love unconditional

then in my eighth year
...
