The Last of the Summer Wine

Through fallen leaves thick with the foreshadowing
Of times colder,
...

I have joined the ranks
Of those who file
Some distance to work
By train.

The review
Critically claimed,
(Following his debut)
That the actor could not be blamed

I am reminded
Again,
Of a first chance
To dance
...

By twists and turns
Tiny fragments like
Coloured glass combine;
Create random
...

blown, like  seed
dispersed on the wind;

the rolling stone,
...

In glass, an image perceived,
From which emerges
A masterly, monochrome impression,

You knocked
Too quietly

A Response to the Death of Aylan Kurdi

You did not deserve to die in the coldness of water,

Those days,

In Autumn, like

Not in broad, flaming brushstrokes, full-loaded with colour,
But plainly, unequivocally, in black and white,
Simple words on paper, strokes of an ineloquent pen.

Richard Theze Biography

Richard Thézé has always enjoyed reading poetry. In 2009, he was asked by the director of the Bangkok school where he taught to write a poem, as a tribute to the King of Thailand’s sister who had died the previous year. Though originally written in German, the poem was published in a high-society Thai magazine in English. The same year, Richard wrote a second eulogy following the tragic death of a fellow teacher. Moved by the touching words spoken about him by his mother at his funeral service, he felt the need to record the words and his own feelings on hearing them. Since then, Richard has written a number of poems. He does not find the creative process an easy one. The right inspiration and having something pertinent to say on a topic are, he feels, the most important aspects of the writing process.)

Graves
A symbol
I take it
In timeless
Remembrance
To honour
The brave
Who stood
True
To their beliefs
And lie now
Bones and teeth
Below ground
Where
The flowers grew
