SIMPLY YEATS

  

My verse under Yeats’ carved door
             he merrily chuckled at white 
             envelope, sketched butterfly 
said he preferred to receive 
verses this way rather 
than reading them across 
post-modern websites 

                             a languid phantom

He invited me to an idyllic tea
we savoured small
cheese squares, crumbly 
scones watching a squirrel 
chomp a cheerful chestnut 
                          LOST AND FOUND
 
          What word can describe 
              fleeting images, dreams of poets graduated, yet living on ?
           
                           V A C A N T

 ….a vacancy that awaits a letter 
        wandering ethereal 
 a word manifesting ____on old desk 
        a Lover expecting his
Beloved with cherries and hat

                   a shadow across 
                   poetic spaces 
                   Yeats, gone
                   ye  t, HERE

                       ~~~
