Linz Poems


Premium MemberClerihew Bruckner

Joseph Anton Bruckner of Linz
with powerfilled symphonies did convince
Without doubt an Austrian  maestro
in majestic sounds to&fro

In Grief Entwined

It’s affected more
Than I bargained for;
My brother’s death

He’s still here, of course,
On Facebook; a ghost
Among the living host
Of ‘Friends’
And sometimes I’ll post a post
Political or satirical
And without thinking, think,
 “Linz will ‘Like’ that” ..
But, No …. He doesn’t
And never will.

Half a world away and Covid-constrained
I missed the pouring of his dust
Into the sea, so much the lust of his life,
Now the lust of his death.
But when I close my eyes, I see
The flames charcoaling me
As the bones of his cheeks
Morph into mine.

Aye, there’s the true rub.
For the dead leave death behind 
For the living then to find
And place in special corners of the mind
To visit and revisit 
In grief entwined
Mourning for the passing yet to come.

I wrote this about my friends on the social web sight

In Van Gerren's mind

Tied up tight with twisted twine

Is a dusty old book

If we could just take a look


Then there is our Queenie

What goes on beneath her beanie

I would sure like to know

If she would give us a show


Hidden in Linz thoughts

Is a beat-up wooden box

With secrets to see

Will she give up the key


Deep in Wally brain

Where some tupperware contains

Odds and ends we once knew

Will he let us all view


In the Psyche of our Zora

Is an urn with such an aura

Will she brush off the dust

Then show it to us


Inside Phluffys head

Is a paper bag, that's said

To contain a whole world

May we see it unfurled 


Now in my conscious thinking

There's a glad bag that is stinking

Full of thoughts, thrown away

As you see here today
