Michael Shepherd Poems

The book said:

I serve you. And
as you take from me, I
...

without a care

in the world
...

Tell you what

I'll pray five times a day
if you love your neighbour as yourself
...

Windows nothing reading
thus goes
pretty letters
human companion
...

White silk gown – Sunday silk – yet
daily donned – tight-cuffed –
cool hands – folded - warm lap -
milk-white - under orange vest – and -
...

Is evolution wiser than we know?
Are we to believe it nothing more
nor less, than threats, in holy or unholy
alliance with blind chance;
...

I wouldn't recommend
adolescence
...
