Self Defence Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Self Defence

Rating: 5.0


I view not with my earthly eyes
the scented fields of paradise.
A self deluding fantasy
I see that which I want to see.
A panorama of delight
a riverside bathed in sunlight.
A place of peace and harmony
where I can set my sprit free
A place where I am sure to find
a solace and my peace of mind.
For here no evil can exist.
This is a place that I persist
in visiting when I’m distressed
To let my troubled spirit rest.

Not as good as Shakespeare, but you'll do. I don't have the guts to write sonnets.
