ivor or ivor.e hogg Poems

Do you believe there is a God?
and if you do pray tell me why.
Myself I find it rather odd.
I do believe I would reply.
...

He suffers from a rare condition
advanced and chronic erudition
There was no end to what he knew
and every day learnt something new.
...

Today I saw the first small signs
of Mother Natures Spring Designs.
Some tiny leaves of tender green
against the bare twigs to be seen.
...

Her work worn hands are quiet now.
Something I never thought to see
She used them so industriously
no idleness would she allow.
...

The Daffodils in massed array
their yellow trumpets on display
are flaunting beauty shamelessly
. They see no need for modesty.
...

Snowflakes dance like butterflies
before my disbelieving eyes.
I was prepared to sing springs song
But it appears that I was wrong.
...

I keep stored in my library
a treasury of poetry.
These riches I’m prepared to share
with anyone who visits there.
...

He had one eye, one arm, one leg
a landmine had removed the rest
he does not whinge or whine or beg.
His attitude is best expressed.
...

The surging tides that ebb and flow
I watch them come I watch them go.

The rolling waters of the sea,
...

Rising in the still air
A plume of smoke denotes
that there is someone there.
But Who?
