Terence George Craddock Poems

pulling a curtain down
across the past
pulling a curtain down
upon the past
...

time slips slides away
like sands falling
in an hour glass
...

lying in the open gazing at stars
in the wind stream of stellar night
induces in me a haunting longing
...

woke from a dream
straight into a poem
so simple so unique
shall not reveal a peek
...

i heard silence
on glass brims
fading laughter footsteps
fading echoes of guests
...

thus so often my best
are unwritten lade to rest
never to grace poetic pages
...

but a brief lament
a lament for poems
lost never written
...

it is always best
to work together
to resolve problems
to restore harmony
...

beautiful stomach crafted
curved fat belly attained
many meals enjoyment eaten
...

belly curves like a buddha golden
chunks of jade sight eyes Siam shaped
solid gold cherry jolly belly mind
...
