The Royalist Poems

Close to heaven
I saw a kite fly high
By wind driven
It glided in the sky
...

Bedecked with bright colours
I lounge on the decking
Waiting for my discoverer
Waiting, anticipating
...

The ice-cream van airs out a merry chime
I buy my sundae and bask in the summertime
On a deckchair I recline
My ear hears the sound of a whirring whine
...

For crimes of lust against his fellow man
Wilde had got his come-uppance
Celled sardined with varied beasts
His life was not worth tuppence
...

First you need to buy in the dough
And then you heel it, toe it or knead it
And if it doesn’t hula in a circular machine
Throw a gay Gordon Ramsay fit ‘til it fits
...

The Best Poem Of The Royalist

Kite

Close to heaven
I saw a kite fly high
By wind driven
It glided in the sky
Unafraid
Of falling
From a great height
It was aware of its calling

Farther down, in the pleasant green
I spied a flying ship with a sting
And I recoiled first, before disarming
For this was no predator
No preening matador
There was no malice in its face
Its masts were set sail to sail with glee
And it hugged on the tree
The bee embraced the flowers round the bark
And on its body bore a kitemark
