Catherine Habbie Poems

O what is this that doth taste so sweet
Wrapped in nuts, making life complete?
Tis cocoa, butter and sugar neat
...

On international friendship day
I cement my friendship with you
In bricks of stone and mortar alone
Are not strong castles made
...

The shooting stars
The pink grey skies
Early in the morning
Or late twilight
...

A wise old man sat on the stone
Many a sin he knew he had to atone
His crinkled eyes
Though gave the game away
...

40 be a special number

It doth have a special place in history
Hear ye and mark not assunder
...

Wake up now, you're out of bed!
Morpheus is appeased
The dreams have ceased
The day you still have to seize.
...

O Grenfell O Tower of Babel
You had to go
you brought so many people together
its obvious you had to go
...

On the highway
The internet highway
The surf is always up
Never stop surfing
...

Winter Lights
The ceremony of winter lights
A harbinger of many cold nights
Lit up with many hued beacons of hope
...

We share our lives
We share our minds
We let out sighs
We are one of a kind
...
