Terry Donovan Poems

I wish that I could whisper in your ear
And you would know exactly what I mean,
My meaning coming over very clear,
No lines for you to look for in between.
...

Who heals the healer?
Who understands
That even with her healing hands
She's only human after all
...

Never trust a lobster,
He may have a charming smile
But underneath he's ruthless
And saves everything to file.
...

The only sound, the traffic passing by,
A six-foot fence, the view from where I sit,
To gaze at vapour trails high in the sky,
Some flowers and a rock'ry - that's it.
...

You're beautiful in oh so many ways
And life with you is one long happy dream
The sun shines always even on dull days
For summer you will always make it seem.
...

The day the bomb fell on the house
The kids were all at school,
Dad was in his allotment,
Mum was out buying wool.
...

She looked out the window on Christmas day
And could scarce believe her eyes
For what she saw beyond all doubt
Was a wonderful surprise.
...

A sky of grizzly angry grey
Foreboding, opens up the day.
The butterflies, the wasp, the bee,
The birds that should be on the tree,
...

Today the sunshine seemed to say
“Get on your bike and get away,
Too long cooped up in here you’ve spent”
And so I did – got up and went.
