Denis Martindale Poems

The elephant had never seen
A human stand up close
And so, of course, he was quite keen
To learn about its nose!

The image of the pussycat,
So playful, without care...
Was gone in seconds, just like that,
When fury made him stare...

Behold the man who knows not love, just bitterness and scorn.
Behold the man of ill repute - his smiles that gleam and gleam.
Behold the man behind the suit - his hatred is extreme.

A tiny chestnut tree grew tall
To span the decades well
And in the Autumn or the Fall,
Its spiky conkers fell...
...

The human body's all we are
Till we explore this life,
It doesn't matter, near or far,
We find both joy and strife,
