Douglas Scotney Poems

If we say it was an accident
that life came about
and stage it
so we create our own
...

Sometimes
'You can sense'
is followed by
'You are a mountain'
...

not malicious,
but bad in the sense that
no-one could be qualified
to do what they were doing,
...

The extra house by the sea:
possible,
desirable, inevitable,
for the train, the car, the colony;
...

Bonus payments for his skills
were made in the tools he used
to exercise those skills.
...

title
three words
last word
foundations, establishments, organisations
...

femme du dé
adorent cet homme
qui avait un sens irréverencieux,
un humour irréverencieux,
...

When sources were stretched
by Chinese demand,
getting love over quick
was a major concern
...

On a small dot,
small dots
in towers
(and basements free from vibration)
...

My classic cracker
only fits around
the pointy end
of the Gen Y,
...
