Toby Twigg Poems

The Leaves all came together in one place
Each with each and all with all
They said their piece
From early Spring to almost Fall
...

If you have to explain your Poems
Describe your Paintings
Justify the existence of your Sculpture
...

Soon the falling will begin
Sunlight will weave in and out of leaves of trees
Changing the once dull and dusty green
Into complex tapestries
...

As a child I saw the gathering of suits
and dresses of somber smells.

Murmurs and the whispering of flowers
...

Presenting masks wherever we go
Mere representations
That we give the world to see
However: hidden deep down within
...

Gypsy Recital for the Prince ___
(All Hallow's Eve,1843)

Opening her case with the edges frayed
...

Invitation to Reality ___

Embossed, elegant and proper
With white glove upon silver tray
...

Once upon a long ago
A Slitherwhumping to and fro
I'e clumb the chimmney brim
To find what I'e might know
...

Soldier's On the Wall

Amid the dark of night
When the Cannon cease their raucous noise
...

If you have to explain your Poems
Describe your Paintings
Justify the existence of your Sculpture
Then you have Failed.
