kate williams Poems

Suddenly it's bean time!
Yes, we've got beans:
Fresh beans, green beans,
Long, wiggly lean beans,
...

Three for two!
Four for three!
Ten per cent extra!
One extra free!
...

Tiny gift-wrap bow
Lifting
Drifting
Lifting
...

A rhinoceros
Fits neatly in a haiku
But a hippopot...
...

Pound
Pound
Pound
Pound
...

What’s in a phone call?

A wavelength shared,
Two minds linked,
...

Free gift, free gift.
When would you have to pay?
Or when would a present not be free,
to put it a different way.
...

Can I hear the sea
Rushing, or the trees hushing?
Or waves in the trees?
...

I’m hurtling through spring countryside,
Mirror crammed with van,
Nose at tail.
“FAST! ” I see it shout.
