Terry Collett Poems

Fay looked down
at the River Thames
from Westminster Bridge
...

The big kid stood
by the garden shed
with others kids and you
the horticultural teacher
...

Soft silk Butterfly.
Black dancer glides gracefully
as jazz music plays.
...

As you rode through Paris
in the packed coach

the radio played
...

Granddad offered candy
from a white paper bag
and you slowly took one
...

Millie Allstruck suffocated
Her daughter. Millie held
The cushion down. Saw her
Daughter’s arms flap like
...

Her name's Jane I think
said Jupp

standing beside you
...

It's the fifth hotel room
in as many days
the fifth morning waking
and standing there
...

Juliette drags the brush
through her hair you have
to brush it at least one
hundred times her mother
...

Look who's over
by the school gates
Reynard said
and you looked over
...
