Shirley Harrison Poems

This windy morn

has left its debris on my path
...

when a Poet's pen

can write it in imagery
...

And as I trudge my way through

the darkest of moments
...

special English rose
...

We cannot function well
with a damaged brain

and we certainly cannot live
...

I was twenty-seven years' old

my spark gone
...

7.

She hovers over me

when I sleep, when I wake
...

Tonight is Burns night
I have no haggis to devour
yet, in my living room the bagpipes shall play
of Scottish roots I have my grandmother to thank
...

Isn't it just so poetic

that we live and then we die?
...

I have grown very fond of my goldfish

swimming happily in her bowl
...

11.

And so it snows

outside, the trees of old
...

From the underside of our great love

darling, please remember this
...

A beautiful mind, gifted

awareness at a very young age
...

Oh Heart oh Heart be loved?

are you shy?
...

My mind can be filled with sunshine, blue skies and birds chirping in the forest green

It can also be filled with the most erratic jazz
painted in drizzles black white and yellow
...

I am metaphor

I am the gentle ocean on a pretty day
...

Like a meteorite blazing down to earth from infinity

down from the blackest of space
...

As if the day turned black

and the sun turned a dirty shade of grey
...

O' London I miss you

you're always in my dreams
...

20.

stars await the show

theatre fit for those, in love
...

The Best Poem Of Shirley Harrison

This Windy Morn

This windy morn

has left its debris on my path

the once elegant cypress

that's stood for years, now dead and gone

a path once filled

by the orchestra of birds hiding in its foliage

I shall overpass its fresh weeping skeleton

whilst reflecting on

oh how its shade has protected me from the hot sun

and from the unpredictable powers of

Mother Nature's wrath

I can tell you, we've had many

after all, we still have four seasons here

soon it will be time to pot my strawberry seeds

but they'll never be a patch on that cypress.
