Terence George Craddock Poems

rot is in heartwood
drones fill beehive
termites eat rapid

New Zealand built on land development
New Zealand built on land managed resources
New Zealand built on colonial pioneering spirit

New Zealand built on land development
New Zealand built on land managed resources
New Zealand built on colonial pioneering spirit
...

we awake in cold fingered want

beware attitude makes or breaks
when earthquake our world shakes
...

I am in politics I will promote others before myself
I am in politics I will serve without personal financial gain
I am in politics I will use my skills abilities for the common good
I am in politics I will serve my nation my people not rich corporate greed
...

running like a beggar
from place to place
hot cold light shadow
...

no one is always someone
someone with perception we see
when we read mind lips
...

there is a grey haired old woman
whom I once knew at school who
recently read one of my poems once...
...

yes she can lecture for hours
how she used to teach poetry
at Shirley Boys
