Paul Warner Poems

Where is your windmill?
Trapped under the millers thumb?
Fat and rotund in your simple smock,
flour coated arms from kneading bread.
...

What can I say,
ever since I left the tree,
always looking back and up.
...

Come little children,
sit down by me,
i'll tell you a tale,
of how you'll be.
...

No potato,
no bread,
chopsticks click,
wok fried pieces,
...

Today in my normal ignorance I save a fly.
Fell in my beer jug after I wafted my hand.
Thought what do I do?
...

All around the world,
There were dragons,
so we're told
Through art and verse.
...

Four deaths is a drama,
one thousand deaths a statistic.
look into the panorama,
see the logistics.
...

Rats run across the floor,
Khmer music resounds,
the smiles flow free,
with echoes that cannot be heard.
...

One king dies,
another substitutes,
lineage, family tree,
monkey nepotism,
...
