Res John Burman Poems

“My Place”

My place now is Cornwall
I was drawn here by the clean air and the sea
...

Ah, the wind, the wind is dying,
As it puts the storm to bed,
In the sky the clouds are flying
As they chase each other o’erhead.
...

Little Church nestling
Beside the River Camel
Sweet morning birdsong
...

Donkey in the kitchen
With her hungry face on
Rattling the lid of the bread bin
...

'Bamboo'

When darkness settles
And the wind forgets to blow
...

Little Church nestling
Beside the River Camel
Sweet morning birdsong
...

Confucius he say: -
“Given a few more years
Of life to finish my study
Of the Book of Changes,
...

Drifting through this hell of green,
Trying to remain unseen,
Youngsters really, many a teen,
In a Jungle War e’re their manhood’s seen.
...

Gandhara Buddha
On a lucky red necklace
His hand on my heart
...

Picture This.

Knock on the door
Postman
