Terry Collett Poems

Christina sat
on you lap
you sat
on the low brick wall
...

Mr Bedlows
showed you around
the old folk’s home
the day had begun
...

Jupp liked
the Whitmarsh girl
or so he said
hand at the side
...

Woolgar peered
through the wire mesh
at the girl’s playground
can see that girl you like
...

As you took
old Mr Wheale
to the lavatory
...

On that rattling train
and rocky bus
you went
with your mother
...

Helen sat next to me
on the grass
outside Banks House
...

Janice folds
her new dress
quite neatly
and lays it
...

Lydia
unwraps her
Kit Kat bar
and breaks off
...

EXTRA FOR BREAKFAST.

I saw her on the lower steps
of the stairway
...
