Trews
When the wind chimes high
when the wind chimes low
through the links
in his kilt he'll go
all the lassies say hello
Donald where's your troosers?
A slimy heel slippery eel
tho' no feared he'd take the fall(s)
he lost his breeks on the course
where caddies dropped (all) his ball(s)
With apologies to Andy Stewart (1933 – 1993)

Come forth our Angel of the North Stokesy
Come forth our Angel of the North
Working class…but VIP pass…standing sentry for cricketing gentry
Towering injury tarnished Talisman penury
Revarnished..primacy rebooted for his mooted destiny and legacy
Poetry in motion..the emotion
The devotion..our commotion potion
Rejuvenation
India rue what Stokes does imbue
Hadn’t got a clue what to do
Trepidation…procrastination..then damnation
Stewed…then skewed..eschewed..slewed and screwed by the
Hullabaloo dude..voodoo feud…hoodoo mood and rude juju

MIDNIGHT CHIMES (COLLABORATION WITH DEBJANI MITRA)
This poem is an English translation of one of the beautiful Bengali poem of PS poet MALABIKA RAY CHOUDHURY
Midnight chimes unveil in cascade,
glances of your shimmering face
engulfing me in a transient dream...
As if you never went away!
As if I didn't wake up to see you're gone!
As

The spell of chimes and jangles
want to hear from you
not with you laying it out
but in clangs and chimes
that evoke my own response ~
easier to write that way

Not Only Chimes - Rondelet
Not only chimes
moon bear with my speechless crutches
Not only chimes
with brass scarred by June fireflies,
storm's echoes fade from my hutches —
your ghost another side touches
Not only chimes

Big Ben chimes Bazball Zen
Big Ben chimes again
With Bazball zen
One of those men
From special stock
Shepherd of the flock
Hewn from strewn Volcanic rock
From New Zealand's Southern Isle
But only there for a wee while
Mighty flame haired flair laird
Without doubt more about Blighty's North East
They forged this bellicose beast
Ripsnorting sporting cavorting squire
Glutton & gourmand gorged feast
Test town crier
Puffed buffed chest
Inspire..burning
Proper copper topper
Churning

This poem is an English translation of one of the beautiful Bengali poem of PS poet Malabika Ray.
Midnight chimes unveil in cascade,
glances of your shimmering face
engulfing me in a transient dream...
As if you never went away!
As if I didn't wake up to see you're gone!
As if I no longer felt the shatters of pain

Silver Wassail of Chimes
bird’s beak
in stirring melody arouse
silver wassail of chimes
breathlessly bound
to bough
to bow
at angst of wind
reverence of two feet
bird’s claws clinging to the true branch
unbound
bird’s praise
of appraisal as Autumn leaves
red and golden linger
whirligig and
arise
surly
and duly tossed
to the cold cruel surface
where children wait to kick and stomp
throw wings
God sees
impervious backbone of leaves
for it’s all in Fall’s fun

Symphony Of Sunrise
Sun at dawn! A sight so spectacular
I wake up and gaze... surreal, stunning, sensational!
Ultramarine sky, a hue of crimson in the east,
A red dot growing bigger and bigger turning the horizon ruby-red!
Mesmerized me! A gush of lavender emotions run through my veins,
How do I describe this kaleidoscopic vision!
A symphony of chimes soaring from a temple

Bells ring
Zen loving chimes,
Our exquisite times,
Spring chickens reborn,
"Still awake?" We yawn.
Basically harmless, you see,
Dreams are fantasy.

Wind Chimes
Soft gentle winds
Wind chimes dancing
So gracefully
Heavenly melodies
Surrounded by eurphoria
Tree leaves swinging in motion
Along with the wind chimes
Tranquility arises by an orchestra
Narrated by soft gentle winds
Captured by bliss
The essence of serenity
Soothing is the soul

At the Third Stroke
"At the Third Stroke.
It will be four, four, and 40 seconds, precisely."
"At the Third Stroke.
It will be four, four, and 55 seconds, precisely."
Old timers like me can remember
when time was voiced on the telephone when you dialed '1984'.
To get the 'Speaking Clock'!
or were told the time in tolls of local church bells.
or the number of

Chimes Befalling
You confused the situation
by alarming the guests
saying close
but no cigar
You always gave quaint encouragement
by virtue of your factuals
We sweetly sang out of tune
to deflect the despondency
On the chimes befalling
you set the table for many guests
but could ill afford the meal provided

Wind Chimes
Wind is blowing through the trees
Bluebird, are you in the breeze?
Have you come to comfort me?
To soothe my lonely heart? To see
Me smile because it's you?
I think I hear your wingbeat through
The bending of the leaves and branch
In everything you have carte blanche
I've made a nest for us to live
You relax now, let me
