Marnie Memis Poems

Sitting in the shop doorway
People often stare
They don't know that I'm hungry
They probably don't care
...

The sun sets over Istanbul
The day's so warm
The night's quite cool
We walk along the bospherous hand in hand
...

War torn battlefields
Political flop
Who'll pick up the pieces
When they've taken what they've got
...

Look out the Hobyah's are on their way
I hope they don't see me
If I don't manage to hide in time
They'll eat me for their tea
...

I went walking through the park today
And guess what I did see
A red and green woodpecker
And it was pecking on a tree
...

I can't believe it's happening
Most people do not care
But everyone is guilty
Of putting a hole in the ozone layer
...
