David Keig Poems

I am death
I am destroyer
I am not ordinary man
I have kept all people faithless
...

I met a man the other day
With grey and mournful eyes
His parchment skin was wrinkled
And all his hair was white.
...

Will you be my baby tonight?
Or will you be my lover?
Will you whisper 'turn out the light'
Or will there be another
...

Men in suits
Seem to be
In search of
Anonymity
...

There’s nothing that’s finer when you are in Umina
Than bowling right up to the friendly bowling club
...

Etheline
a name
like some plastic
or compound
...

Remove those feelings of regret
Relax - be clear of mind
...

So farewell David Blunkett
We knew you as a forthright man
With that Edwardian beard
Making you seem as if you
...

‘Well here it is Merry Christmas’
You sang
With ‘everybody’s having fun’
As refrain
...

Kerry Packer was the richest man in Australia until he died the other year.....


I sometimes think of Kerry Packer
