Terry Collett Poems

watched Elaine
get on the bus
with her mouthy sister
and others.
...

Benny never heard
from Nima again.

Weeks past
...

Yours always
she had said
or written on the back
of the postcard
...

You sit on the grey patterned sofa
beside him and he is talking
about things you have
no interest in
...

And it's got to be
a double wedding
and things got hectic
making sure the dresses
...

So the schmuck
put his hand
over your wrist
as you sat
...

Abela kicked Benny leg
under the table.

He'd been eyeing one
...

It rains as they put up the tent
they work as fast as they can
but still get soaked to the skin.
...

Susie snuggles
up to close to Polly
in the large iron bedstead,
places her cheek
...

I walked on
my new legs
up the aisle,
Guy beside me
...
