The beginning
When the ocean hit the shore, sea spray flew up
The droplets that flew the highest became birds
...
Awestruck
My pellucid teddy had been left in the kitchen overnight
someone had scratched its eyes off
...
To think clearly
What we see in our daily life is like a hastily iPhone photo
Lacking depths and smiles not reaching the eyes
...
Harp music
Grey mist creates a lesser world
eyes strain to see beyond the possible

A Perilous flight
The flight from Hong Kong to Manila had more
passengers than seats

The Class Act
It dawned on me to get ahead in life, I had to speak
proper the way words are laid out in books

Salacia
Where two mountains almost meet, there is a canyon
Of boulders and unfriendly nature, such as thorny bushes
...
Urbanity
A beautiful morning, slightly overcast cars
on the avenue play sordini, rubber yielding to asphalt
...
the day ends in a shanty town
When crossing the bridge to the shanty town
The day was almost over, blank and tired
...
The builders
At the end of the avenue stood a big, white residence
with a splendid garden with trees and flowers
...
The Caliphate
Let us think about the unthinkable
Let ISIS have its caliphate and be a state
The Zionists took Palestine and called it Israel

A missile
The boomerang was suddenly a must among boys in my childhood
we tried and tried, but the confounded thing didn't return

I have tried to tell a story of a rat that fell from the ceiling
It landed among drinkers in a café I ran,

The Best Poem Of jan hansen
Beginning
The beginning
When the ocean hit the shore, sea spray flew up
The droplets that flew the highest became birds
The droplets that fell on the strand became life
Some drops that had Iris within became humanlike
The sand that was washed back into the sea
Became fish, the ocean foam became insects
the Man, was born; as they crept to seek shelter
Most of them were eaten by birds
Smaller droplets cooled by the breeze became
Tigers, wolves, and deer whose beauty lit up the glen
Where flowers bloomed and rabbits roamed in peace
Till humans became predators and rulers
The sacred iris people, who had a soul and sense
Had a choice to make, to become angelic or live
In a competitive world that had no room for losers
That is why humanity lives in conflict with itself
