Jan Oskar Hansen Poems

The Lady and the Tramp

I took the bus from Ellesmere Port to Birkenhead,
from there the underground to Liverpool, walked
...

The end

So it is all over
ashes to ashes
...

Playfulness

Early morning
the rain has fallen in the night
...

To a friend

A friend of mine ended up in a hospital
His heart had taken a heavy load of a hard life.
...

The mourning
It was an early morning
The day before Christmas
The phone rang
...

Road Works


The loose pebbles off the road I picked
...

Terror in Mumbai

The face of a young terrorist caught on
camera, flushed look and his eyes shine
...

Botany

Have you had a shower?
Yes dear, and changed my t. shirt too
...

Not what you see

It looked an idyllic scene
a farmer with a sweet, little red tractor
...

Flying things

I once saw a flying pig
there was a hard wind blowing from the east.
