james watkin Poems

Inch by inch we uncovered them.
Abbreviating year by year
Mode up from ankles summer-sloshed;
Eve's rhythm-swirling gear.
...

O so late who unto this lily
To admire, would stand as close.
Bashful drooped, who could not, if now
Step up too soft anyhow!
...

If noblest friendship
Is following after
A scorned and rejected
Ungainful life-vision
...

Behind each charge of valour
Undeflected off Death's stare
Spirit is confessed. A shield
Held up of self-luminous, scorching ware.
...

A pleasanter air he had about him
A rosier outlook The Past.
Like he was always a triumph coming off;
A cherry-topped repast.
...

With exhilarations do these
Homing paths beat.
With exhilarations, like burps
In rillets animate.
...

Chorus lines soon joined; Dawn's re-wakened.
Life unto life's, up-rhapsodize.
Shrugging off, with one tail feather's swipe
All that mists characterize.
...

Beside his person, whatever else
Is irretrievable
Beats down Compunction's path, in fued
Of gloomy attitude.
...

Senseless is faith, like a simple one
Like a modest one is harmless.
World-wisdom, of this other outdone!
Confounding, down-cast, its temptress!
...
