Thomas Golding Poems

Singing water running swiftly
Flowing downward to the valley
Spraying off intrusive stone
Cataract plunging to the bottom
...

An extract from a poem written for my grandchildren to Brahms Lullaby

Sleep; little mice sleep
Mother will watch over you
...

Policemen kindly stay away
Unless of course you wish to pay.
Hey ho mother runs a knocking shop.
...

Four years on the dole
Four years in the queue
The shops full of goods I can’t buy
Or bring myself to steal
...

When mother Eve
Lay with proto man
To beget us all
Did either consider
...

The grass dried up and blew away
the ground is cracked and bare
we can't get renewal on our loan
who'd be a winging farmer.
...

'Get him out, ' Mum said
ten am on Sunday and it's time
three nephews and two nieces
never needed much urging
...

i Mother, Mother shining bright
how did you stand the terrors of the night
pressed down to fit a symmetry.
...

Four tens of years plus one
Doh Ray to Me and go
Oblivious to all but inner tune
Through minefields on the way
...

TURUTURU MOKAI PA*

Liam now four
Plays happily by the stream
...
