Les Murray Died Poem by Douglas Scotney
Les Murray Died
Les's head
looked like the guy's on the left
in Brueghel's 'The Strife of Lent with Shrove-Tide'.
He knew it. It's on the cover
of 'Collected Poems' of '94.
I adapted one of his shortest once.
Gave it to him at Writers Week.
I wrote 'Senryu' when dirty,
he sort of said.
'Just two hours after
Eternal Life pills came out
someone took thirty.'
I wrote:
Some two hours after
Eternal Life pills came out,
someone had taken only one.
Just two hours after eternal life flew away. Les Murray died and this was a sad news for us. May Soul rest in peace. This is a very brilliant poem penned by great poet...10
