Denis Martindale Poems

To look at them, you'd be amused,
For two white tiger cubs
No longer yawning or confused
Both used their claws as clubs.
...

Two snow wolves stayed on pure white snow,
Like two rocks side-by-side...
As if they had no home to go,
No warm place to abide...
...

To think that love is everywhere
And that it's Heaven-sent,
A poor man or a billionaire,
Each learns by accident...
...

We know that some aren't ready yet
To fall in love again.
Between loves, they seem firmly set,
Not knowing where or when.
...

Blah, blah, blah, blah... Batteries in.
Switch on... Scan for Freeview channels...
No channels found. Plug in aerial.
Scan for Freeview channels again...
...

I've seen this outlined on TV, to help us memorize
And found it even worked for me, before my very eyes!

We exercise our minds to hone these memories that we view.
...

Yes, I've heard your little rumour...
You saying Spring is here!
Yet such fantasies I humour,
In February, my dear!
...

The fragrances of yesteryear
So fascinated me
That everything was crystal clear,
As if my destiny!
...

The loneliest day of the year
Must be St Valentines,
For some, Hip, Hip, Hoorah! Good cheer
And dressed up to the nines!
...

St Valentine's is here once more!
Let's celebrate in style!
Let's dance upon the dancing floor!
Let's smirk and smooch and smile!
...
