Dave Dunn Poems

War, war, war
What is it all for
Does it bring happiness
Does it bring joy
...

I awoke to silhouettes of images long suppressed
Those which rose from their internment within grey depths
Flickered with hesitance as from draft blown oil lamps
Wound round with broken elements of sad irrelevance
...

Don't ever think that you could be naive,
just because violent deaths make you grieve,
for the choice to kill is itself an unwordly act,
beheading party goers is abhorrent, that's a fact
...

Like Dreamers Do

My pillows are so crumpled
My bed in such a mess
...

A Winter Coat

All the tall trees wept
Their leaves upon the ground
...

The Birth of Tomorrow


Tomorrow is born within our dreams,
...

The Wind Howled

And the wind howled
To mark the time
...

The Myth Of The Perfect Man

The perfect man does not exist
And if he did would soon be kissed
...

Lora's Woe

On the far side of broken pride,
clinging to scraps of humble pie,
...

The Apprentice

'I saw it all'
Said the witness
...
