Etienne Charilaou Poems

Galaxy round of soft fairy light,
so far away yet beauteous in might;
the faces there descry our spiral fair.
...

Yet another terror attack in London.
Everything that can be done is being done.
How is it possible to love an enemy so dastardly?
...

Young glossy starling perching,
iridescent blue plumage showing.

Yellow eyes at me peering;
...

Look for the opportunity extraordinary
to make your life less ordinary.

Or, join me on a mat;
...

the garden is small
the flower is huge
a bumble bee gathers from flower to flower
Who has a job like mine
...

Waves breaking on the shore
rolling smoothly over my feet
the water has caught me
in its gentle embrace
...

small garden yet here is a white dove

narrow place yet here is a white rose
...

I hate jazz!
I hate heavy metal!
I hate country!
I hate the blues!
...
