Peter Hall Poems

There once was an eagle in a nest
Immature and young who thought he knew best
And there were many things he didn't know
Except some doubts and highs and lows.
...

The pain is so great
I need some relief
The 50 pence Valium
stops the shameful creep.
...

The guard puts him in, at exactly quarter to nine
The four walls remind him, he's a prisoner doing time
His prison greys remind him, daily of his crime
Welcome to the cell, and what it's like inside.
...

When the Heavenly Gift came
Everything changed.

When the Heavenly Gift came
...

The black dog has started barking
Old memories have started tracking
Emotions that again start descending.
...

I had an emotional dream last night
I was teaching my Grandson to fly a kite.

It flew so high till it was unseen
...

A warm summer's day at a freshly mown park
Hearing kids smile and hearing dogs bark
I sit and enjoy at a bench made of wood
I think about God and how He is so good.
...

The pies are hot
The beer is cold
It must be Saturday afternoon.
...

He wakes up in the morning
And regrets another day,
Puts on his daily mask
To prove that he's OK.
...

The northern hemisphere summer sky
Is still bright at eleven
The middle of summer is an exciting time
As it lights up the mountains and heaven.
