Mill Field Poems

Friendship stands the test of time,
Where-ever the place, whatever the clime.

Friendship is mellow, friendship is strong,
...

The Morn dispels the darkling Night
And sets the eastern hearth alight;
But I to slumber tightly cling
Nor ope my eyes for anything.
...

Majestic gowned in creamy-gold effulgence,
The Moon transits the vault of heaven on the arm of Night;
Eclipsing all lesser lights,
Holding earth-bound mortals in her thrall
...

Whatever be the food of love,
Give me excess of it
...

Do not eat crackers or toast in bed
For the crumbs are sure to fly;
And the shortest distance between two points
Is between the mouth and the eye.
...

God is; who knows?
God is not; who knows?
God might be; who knows?
Who will answer these questions?
...

Time is precious, time is sweet,
Time flies by on Hermes feet.

The ode is long, an epic too,
...

The Haiku is a funny bird
Which roosts not in a tree,
It looks around with wondrous eye
And whispers much to me.
...

Sap spurting, willow supple,
Dreaming dreams to change the world;

Sap steady, oaken soundness,
...
