Diana Rosser Poems

wind blows relentless
winter howls its discontent
upon sodden land
...

When there is only mournful dark despair
shut your weary eyes and visualise
the flicker of peppered stars, now there
blazing the milky way in desert skies.
...

High
above
rich wetland
a lone kestrel.
...

Land left unguarded by Roman might
painted Picts came southward,
swift warriors, in stealth and at night.
Half naked Hiberni came westward
...

Harsh words
burst forth from
your brutal mouth
...

A world of words, dictionary,
non-fiction book find glossary,
meanings trembling on the tongue,
new ones, beginning saplings young
...

My father is dead
and I loved him.
Life carries on
but he's dead
...

Working cats slink silently
over cool shadows pressed into Medina walls;
round contours of emporia spice
keeping low, skirting colourful displays
...

Across the field frost lies thickly
covering tapered blades in white;
sparkling silver moulded stiffly
across the field. Frost lies thickly
...

Across the starless early morn
black hounds howl in relentless rain.
The garden battered, broken, torn
lies flat beneath the beasts refrain.
...
