Susy Evelyne Poems

Normandy kine are very fine -
All dappled, whites and blacks.
And once they've eaten pastures green
They're flat out on their backs.
...

Spider!
Should have stayed an outsider,
Should have known we’d not abide her.
...

Dog swimming
Couple strolling
Waves scalloping the shore...
...

The first time I saw the shimmering
It seemed to me I was dreaming.
A pool of hazy blue appearing
In the dip of the downs,
...

So many lights gone out.
Ones loved and lost
that would shine for us
through the years, each
...

Hidden in the pod
a line of small round new peas
wait to be counted
...

I wonder what happened to R…?
He soon quit me when I wouldn’t go as far -
or as fast - as he wanted.
Leaving teenage me crushed and daunted
...

Tatty petals and leaves lie on a lawn.
Rag-tag soul-mates, thrown together
By the gusts of autumn.
...

Like Saddleback
is your young back

Or some other long hill
...

Fine shimmering rain
dancing on skin, alighting
on leaves as glitter
...
